Abdominal cocoon is a rare condition. It presents as a thick whitish membrane which covers bowel loops. Because of this presentation, it is also called as sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis. It is usually diagnosed intra operatively. Treatment of this condition involves resection of the membrane and release of adhesions. Pre-operatively, patient is investigated for recurrent episodes of small bowel obstructions. However, preoperative diagnosis does not change the treatment and management. Investigations done preoperatively help in expediting the treatment with planned laparotomy.
腹茧症是一种罕见的病症。它表现为覆盖肠袢的一层厚厚的白色膜状物。由于这种表现，它也被称为硬化性包裹性腹膜炎。它通常在手术中被诊断出来。这种病症的治疗包括切除膜状物和松解粘连。术前，对患者进行小肠梗阻反复发作的检查。然而，术前诊断并不改变治疗和管理方式。术前进行的检查有助于通过计划性剖腹手术加快治疗进程。
