Abstract

Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis (or abdominal cocoon) is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction, especially in adult population. Diagnosis is usually incidental at laparotomy. We report one such rare case, outlining the fact that an intra-operative surprise diagnosis could have been facilitated by previous investigations.
