ABSTRACT

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare condition with a low incidence rate. The pathophysiology of this disease is not clear, though two types are distinguished: idiopathic and secondary; the latter usually occurs as a peritoneal dialysis complication. The diagnosis of the condition is usually delayed and it presents with intestinal obstruction. It is important to know the X-ray findings. This disease is associated with a high mortality rate; therefore, early detection and a differential diagnosis in cases of intestinal obstruction are important. We report a case of intestinal obstruction as a clinical manifestation of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis.
