Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sclerosing Encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a rare chronic fibro-inflammatory disease of the peritoneum. The aetiology can be either primary or secondary. The knowledge around this topic is poor. CASE PRESENTATION: Based on the report of a 64-year-old man suffering from intestinal obstruction and its management with a final diagnosis of primary SEP, herein we review the literature concerning this specific entity of primary SEP and its challenge in both diagnosis and treatment. CONCLUSION: whereas SEP is a rare entity, imagery is helpful to make the diagnosis.
