Popis: Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare pathological entity that can be classified into an idiopathic or secondary affection. Bowel obstruction is a frequent complication that has a characteristic radiological finding, with a cocoon appearance. We present the case of a 40-year-old man who suffered an absolute constipation. He underwent a CT scan that was suggestive of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis or abdominal cocoon responsible for small bowel obstruction.
