Abdominal Cocoon Syndrome, A Rare Case Report

Abstract

A rare cause of intestinal obstruction is an abdominal cocoon. Preoperatively, most cases are difficult to diagnose. In most cases, surgical removal of the membrane resulted in complete recovery. The exact cause of abdominal cocoon is unknown. We described a male patient who presented with signs of intestinal obstruction and was diagnosed as having an abdominal cocoon intraoperatively.
