https://doi.org/10.7439/ijbr.v6i10.2332Abstract
Peritoneal encapsulation is an exceedingly rare developmental abnormality in which the small bowel is completely encased in an accessory peritoneal sac. Diagnosis is intraoperative as the clinical signs rarely help in diagnosis and in majority excision of sac and release of adhesions is all that is required.Downloads
