Ascites01:19

Ascites

DefinitionAscites is the buildup of fluid inside the peritoneal cavity. It occurs when fluid moves out of the vascular system faster than the peritoneal lymphatics can remove it. This fluid shift is most commonly seen in liver cirrhosis but can also appear in several other systemic disorders.EtiologyCirrhosis remains the leading cause of ascites. Other conditions that can contribute include:Heart failureConstrictive pericarditisAbdominal cancersNephrotic syndromeSevere protein–calorie...
Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:28

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.
Clinical Manifestations:
Appendicitis01:19

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...
Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:30

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management01:21

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Summary

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), a severe complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), can occur years after PD cessation. This rare condition, often linked to peritonitis, requires surgical intervention and impacts patient prognosis.

Colon Ascendens Stent Peritonitis (CASP) - a Standardized Model for Polymicrobial Abdominal Sepsis

Published on: December 18, 2010

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a rare but serious complication associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD).
  • SEP can manifest even after PD cessation, presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Recurrent peritonitis is a known risk factor for SEP development.

Observation:

  • Three distinct cases of SEP are presented, involving patients with varying demographics and medical histories.
  • Case 1: A 75-year-old diabetic patient developed SEP 18 years after PD cessation, following recurrent infectious peritonitis.
  • Case 2: A 57-year-old diabetic male experienced SEP within seven months of automated PD initiation, amidst a severe septic episode.
  • Case 3: An 84-year-old female presented with SEP after multiple peritonitis episodes, including one linked to acute pancreatitis.

Findings:

  • SEP was confirmed via open surgery in all three cases.
  • Viscerolysis was the surgical treatment employed for all patients.
  • A favorable outcome was achieved in two out of the three reported cases.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights the delayed presentation and diagnostic difficulties of SEP post-peritoneal dialysis.
  • Understanding SEP mechanisms and risk factors is crucial for early detection and management.
  • Effective surgical treatment, such as viscerolysis, can lead to positive patient outcomes in SEP.
