ABSTRACT:
Abdominal cocoon is a rare
disease of the peritoneum and the rare cause of intestinal obstruction. The
etiology of this disease is largely unknown. It primarily affects young
adolescent females. We report a case of abdominal cocoon in a 16-year-old girl
patient who presented with recurrent episodes of subacute intestinal
obstruction.
