Intestinal Obstruction Due to Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis: A Case Report

Abstract: Introduction:Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is characterized by partial or complete encasement of small intestine by a thick fibrocollagenous membrane. Depending on underlying causes, SEP is divided into primary and secondary forms. Idiopathic SEP is also called idiopathic or abdominal cocoon syndrome. Herein we presented a case of idiopathic SEP.Case Presentation:A 90-year-old male patient presented to our emergency department with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction and dehydration.

“…In the last category of patients, who present with intestinal obstruction complicated by unresolution of the obstruction by conservative measures, perforation, or ischemia, surgical intervention may be inevitable. Different surgical options include adhesiolysis with excision of the membrane and resection and anastomosis [13]. Resection should be avoided except in clearly indicated patients, such as those with bowel ischemia, as it may lead to more complications, such as anastomosis leak and short bowel syndrome, which will increase the morbidity and mortality of the condition [5, 9].…”

“…It is encountered equally in both genders and presents over a wide age range of ages from young as well as very old with oldest patient reported of 90 years. 5,6,25,26 The hallmark of EPS is the intermittent nature of its presentation. The initial symptoms are usually related to the altered gut motility and transit and altered peritoneal permeability.…”
