title: [Encapsulating peritonitis. Report of 2 cases].
abstract: Walled-off peritonitis which is a frequent occurrence in patients treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis may also occur in cases where there is no obvious pathological factor. This was the case in the two patients reported. Both were male patients aged 28 and 32 years hospitalised and operated on for acute intestinal obstruction. Positive diagnosis was made at the time of operation. Decortication with total enterolysis was performed in the two cases. However, a jejunal fistula with a favorable outcome occurred in one case, investigation for acid fast bacilli was negative and histological examination was non specific.
