ABSTRACT
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), or abdominal cocoon is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, and still etiology remains unknown. We report a series of 4 patients with abdominal cocoon, and all the 4 patients had previously undergone living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). There was no evidence of SEP before and during LDLT. At the time of diagnosis of SEP, 3 out of 4 patients had ascites. First and fourth patients had multiple episodes or attacks of cholangitis, which were managed by percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and hepaticojejunostomy, respectively. All 4 patients presented with intestinal obstruction and 3 of them underwent a successful operation. The fourth patient died due to liver failure and complications of the SEP. The first 3 patients are doing well without SEP recurrence. Our experience suggest that the prognosis of SEP is poor in patients with poor graft liver functions after LDLT.
