An abdominal cocoon is the formation of a fibro-collagenous membrane that surrounds the small bowel like the larval cocoon. We present a rare case of abdominal cocoon presenting as a subacute intestinal obstruction in a patient with partial midgut malrotation. The case was confirmed with CT after initial clinical examination. The patient underwent laparotomy with excision of the sac and adhesiolysis followed by an uneventful recovery. Since idiopathic abdominal cocoon is rare and so is its manifestation as subacute intestinal obstruction, we wish to add this case to the current scientific literature.
腹茧症是一种纤维胶原膜的形成,该膜像幼虫的茧一样包裹小肠。我们报告一例罕见的腹茧症病例,表现为一名部分中肠旋转不良患者的亚急性肠梗阻。经初步临床检查后,通过CT确诊了该病例。患者接受了剖腹手术,切除包膜并松解粘连,随后顺利康复。由于特发性腹茧症罕见,其表现为亚急性肠梗阻的情况也很罕见,我们希望将此病例补充到当前的科学文献中。
