| contents | <p>Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is an extremely rare cause of recurrent abdominal pain and acute, sub-acute, or chronic intestinal obstruction. There are two types of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis described: Primary or Idiopathic type (abdominal cocoon) and secondary type. While the cause of primary SEP is unknown, secondary SEP can develop in association with some surgical interventions like “liver transplantation, peritoneal dialysis, peritoneo-venous shunts” in addition to that, some medical disorders(tuberculosis, sarcoidosis) and some drugs use can play a role in secondary SEP development. Previously it is diagnosis was difficult and even almost impossible preoperatively. However, today, because of the development in Computerized Tomography techniques, preoperative diagnosis, although difficult, it could be possible. </p> <p>We aimed to report a difficult primary SEP case that we could not diagnose preoperatively, review the literature, and emphasize Turkey’s importance.</p> |
