[Chronic encapsulating peritonitis (case report and collective review)]
Abstract:
On the base of their own observation of two cases of chronic encapsulating peritonitis (on the whole the cases studied are three if we consider the one previously reported by De Marchi and Manara in 1947), the AA. review aethiopathogenetic factor, anatomopathological, clinical and radiological findings of this rare but not exceptional disease, and they show the most important features of surgical treatment. The AA. underline the difficulties of a preoperative correct diagnosis and, in accordance with other AA., they expose the good results surgically obtained also in their own cases.
Insights
This study reviews chronic encapsulating peritonitis, a rare disease. Surgical treatment shows good results despite diagnostic challenges.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Chronic encapsulating peritonitis is a rare condition characterized by peritoneal fibrosis.
- Understanding its etiopathogenesis is crucial for diagnosis and management.
Observation:
- The study presents two new cases of chronic encapsulating peritonitis, adding to a previously reported case.
- Detailed review of clinical, radiological, and anatomopathological findings.
Findings:
- Preoperative diagnosis of chronic encapsulating peritonitis presents significant challenges.
- Surgical intervention yields favorable outcomes, as demonstrated in the reviewed cases.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering chronic encapsulating peritonitis in differential diagnoses.
- Emphasizes the efficacy of surgical management for this rare condition.
