title: Peritoneal dialysis catheter obstruction caused by Fallopian tube wrapping.
abstract: Peritoneal catheter malfunction is commonly related to omental wrapping, although entrapment owing to other different intraperitoneal structures is possible but rare. The authors report a case of catheter obstruction owing to fallopian tube wrapping, diagnosed and resolved by laparoscopic surgery. A brief review of this rare problem is presented.
