A complete or partial small bowel encapsulation caused by thick fibro collagenous membrane. Cocoon Abdomen is otherwise called Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis (SEP). This SEP is divided into two: abdominal cocoon (AC) also known as idiopathic or primary sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, which is extremely a rare and secondary sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, which is a common one. Symptoms are nonspecific and preoperative diagnosis was extremely difficult. Surgery is very essential to take membrane samples that confirm diagnosis and for treatment.
