IntroductionEncapsulating peritonitis is a rare but severe chronic fibrotic condition related to the development of a white fibrous membrane surrounding the digestive tract. Idiopathic forms have been described, however the disease is most often secondary to peritoneal dialysis or more rarely to surgery. Treatment is difficult and not codified.Case ReportWe report here the observation of a 36-year-old patient whose diagnosis of encapsulating peritonitis was made after a long sub-occlusive history, eight years after a gastric ulcer perforation.DiscussionWe discuss the possible etiologies and we present a focus on this rare and little-known entity.Copyright © 2019 Société Nationale Française de Médecine Interne (SNFMI).
