Article Steroid Responsive Abdominal Cocoon Syndrome Secondary To Peritoneal Dialysis; a Rare Case Presentation(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2023) Erdem, M.; Soyoral, Y.U.; Duman, A.Abdominal cocoon syndrome is a rare condition that defines the total or partial encapsulation of the small bowel loops by a fibcrocollagenous membrane, primarily or secondarily, with inflammatory infiltrate that leads to acute or chronic obstruction. While this condition may become manifest in an idiopathic-primary form, it can also occur secondary to interventions such as abdominal surgery, chronic peritoneal dialysis, liver transplantation, ventriculoperitoneal shunt or medications. We aimed to present a case diagnosed with abdominal cocoon syndrome induced by peritoneal dialysis, who showed a good clinical response to steroid treatment. © 2023, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
