Abstract
- Sclerosing ecapsulating peritonitis (SEP) first described by Gandhi and Humyn at 1980 is generally recognized, but uncommon complication of continous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and the prognosis is very poor. A 62-year old female was admitted to our hospital with chief complaint of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting. On physical examination, abdominal pain was not detected. Abdominal CT demonstrated paralytic ileus and adhesion in proximal ileum. She underwent adhesilolysis of ileum and repair of perforated ileum. We experienced one case of SEP presenting small bowel perforation and peritonitis in patient with IPD. We report this case with review of the literature.
