RESUMEN
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), which is interchangeably used with the term ''abdominal cocoon syndrome'', is a rare condition characterized by a thick fibrous membrane encasing portions of the intestinal wall leading to recurrent bowel obstructions. To date, literature describing the association between this condition and chronic beta-blocker therapy is scarce. This report adds by detailing a rare presentation of SEP and highlights an understudied yet important association of SEP with chronic beta-blocker therapy.
