    Two patients developed sclerosing peritonitis after discontinuing practolol. This rare complication requires surgical awareness and further assessment to understand its prevalence and management.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Sclerosing peritonitis is a rare but serious intra-abdominal condition.
    • Practolol is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent previously used for cardiovascular conditions.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with symptoms of sclerosing peritonitis.
    • Both patients had a history of taking practolol, but had ceased treatment months before presentation.

    Findings:

    • The patients' clinical presentation and surgical findings were consistent with sclerosing peritonitis.
    • Cessation of practolol preceded the onset of symptoms, suggesting a potential link.

    Implications:

    • These cases highlight a potential, albeit rare, complication of practolol use.

  • Increased surgeon awareness is crucial for timely diagnosis and management of this condition.
  • Further studies are needed to establish the causal relationship and incidence of practolol-induced sclerosing peritonitis.
