ABDOMINAL COCOON SYNDROME
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Abdominal cocoon syndrome is characterized by encapsulation of the small bowel by a fibrous peritoneal sac. We describe the case of a middle aged male patient who presented with sub acute intestinal obstruction. Treatment involves exploratory laparotomy, excision of the sac and adhesiolysis. Early post operative small bowel obstruction is a rare entity in this disease and can be managed conservatively. It is important to have a high degree of suspicion as Abdominal cocoon syndrome has variable clinical presentation and non specific imaging findings.
