Abdominal cocoon--the cauliflower sign on barium small bowel series.
We report a case of abdominal cocoon encasing the small bowel diagnosed pre-peratively on radiology. Barium small bowel series showed the ileal loops clumped together as within a sac, giving a cauliflower-like appearance on sequential films. At surgery, the membrane enclosing the loops was thin and flimsy.
