title: [Peritonitis encapsulans. Anatomo-clinical aspects. Case report].
abstract: Peritonitis encapsulans is a clinical interest on account of its rarity and the diagnostic difficulties caused by its aspecific symptomatology. A personal case is presented and its ambiguous clinical and instrumental picture is discussed. Diagnosis was finally obtained intraoperatively, after repeated episodes of mechanical ileus had made surgery mandatory.
