Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, a rare cause of bowel obstruction, was described as a complication associated with peritoneal dialysis which is much feared because of its severity. The authors report a case where radiological findings in association with clinical symptoms have allowed for a noninvasive diagnosis of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, emphasizing the high sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography to demonstrate the characteristic findings of such a condition.
硬化性包裹性腹膜炎是肠梗阻的一种罕见病因，被描述为与腹膜透析相关的并发症，因其严重性而令人十分恐惧。作者报告了一例病例，其中影像学检查结果与临床症状相结合，实现了对硬化性包裹性腹膜炎的无创诊断，强调了计算机断层扫描在显示这种疾病特征性表现方面的高敏感性和特异性。
