“…Thickening of the small bowel loops and calcifications of the liver capsule, spleen, posterior peritoneal wall or bowel can also be seen [20]. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging have also been useful in making this diagnosis [19]. Our patient developed SEP in the absence of peritoneal dialysis and did not seem to have any of the previous conditions linked to SEP.…”

“…SEP can also present with recurrent ascites or as an abdominal mass. Although the diagnosis is most commonly made at laparotomy, occasionally it is suspected on radiological imaging [19]. On CT scan, SEP can appear as peritoneal thickening or calcification, loculated fluid collections or matting of the small bowel.…”

We present a case of a 48 year old HIV patient, who had recurrent episodes of ascites since 2007. His history includes ischaemic heart disease, for which he was treated with atenolol from 2005 to 2007, and Type 2 diabetes; he was later started on propranolol 40mg twice a day from 2007 for Didanosine-induced portal hypertension. Because of negative cultures and neutrophil count < 250 cells/μL, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis was excluded. However, some low grade-peritoneal irritation cannot be ruled out because his CRP varied from 24 to 258, during 2007-2009, without any other obvious inflammatory cause. He was finally diagnosed in July 2009 with sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) based on clinical features of intestinal obstruction, histology and imaging, including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Propranolol was stopped in November 2009. Because of the patient's severe intestinal obstruction, he was started on parenteral nutrition 2L/day. Since then, his CRP has returned to normal levels and there is a great improvement of his clinical features. This case demonstrates beta-blockers as a potential cause of SEP, while the presence of some low-grade peritoneal inflammation leading to SEP is also very likely.

ÖzetSklerozan enkapsüle peritonit olarak bilinen abdominal koza, ince barsakların fibrokollejenöz bir membran ile tamamen yada kısmen sarıldığı nadir bir mekanik intestinal obstrüksiyon nedenidir. Genç adolesan kadınlarda görülmekte ve olguların büyük bir kısmında etyoloji bilinmemektedir. Cerrahi acil vakalarda bu nadir olgunun akılda tutulması tedavide gecikmeleri önleyebilir ve hasta için gereksiz girişimleri engelleyebilir. Travma nedeni ile opere ettiğimiz ve teşhis ve tedavide zorlanmaya neden olan abdominal koza olgusunu sunuyoruz. Anahtar KelimelerPeritonit; Multipl Travma; Genel Cerrahi Abstract Abdominal cocoon, as known sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, is a rare condition of mechanical intestinal obstruction due to total or partial encapsulation of the small bowel by a fibrocollagenous membrane. It has been reported mainly in young adolescent women and the majority of the cases are of unknown etiology. Awareness of this rare cause of surgical emergency may prevent delay in treatment and avoid unnecessary procedures for the patient. We are presenting an operated abdominal cocoon case which can be cause difficulty in diagnose and treatment.
