Encapsulating Peritonitis

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, a rare cause of bowel obstruction, was described as a complication associated with peritoneal dialysis which is much feared because of its severity. The authors report a case where radiological findings in association with clinical symptoms have allowed for a noninvasive diagnosis of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, emphasizing the high sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography to demonstrate the characteristic findings of such a condition.

Ossifying fibromas form a part of the spectrum of fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws. They are rare, benign, nonaggressive tumors that are commonly seen in head and neck region. This paper presents the case of a 40-year-old female patient presented with minimal clinical symptoms, diagnosed to be suffering from aggressive form of ossifying fibroma of maxilla involving the maxillary sinus and ethmoid sinus. This paper emphasizes the importance of computed tomography in diagnosing such unapparent aggressive tumors.

Encapsulating Peritonitis

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare condition caused by a fibrotic membrane covering the small bowel which may lead to abdominal pain or obstruction. The cause may be primary and idiopathic or secondary to several diseases, treatments, and/or medications. The condition typically presents with bowel obstruction, and only one previous case has described ascites as the presenting sign. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is typically diagnosed intraoperatively. We present a case of a patient who presented with atypical clinical symptoms including respiratory distress, recurrent abdominal ascites, and failure to thrive who was diagnosed nonoperatively.

Encapsulating Peritonitis

Objective Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a clinical syndrome with a high mortality rate and is a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal sclerosis (PS) is a histological diagnosis. PS is usually observed in the peritoneal specimens of patients with SEP. Avoiding SEP is considered to be extremely important for pediatric patients who may require long-term PD. In this study, the characteristics of patients with PS were investigated to determine when to perform peritoneal biopsies and how long PD can be performed safely. Design A retrospective single-center study. Setting Tokyo Metropolitan Kiyose Children's Hospital. Patients A total of 109 children younger than 16 years have received chronic PD in our unit since 1981. Among these children, 16 patients had been on PD for more than 5 years (mean 7.4 ± 2.5 years) from May 1992 to March 1999. Peritoneal biopsies were performed in 14 of the 16 patients, who were divided into two groups based on the histological diagnoses: a PS and a peritoneal fibrosis (PF) group. Results The 14 patients were on PD for a mean of 7.8 ± 2.5 years. There were 8 patients with PS and 6 patients with PF. SEP was observed in 2 patients in the PS group. The risk of PS increased with the duration of PD: 57% (8/14) > 5 years, 80% (4/5) > 8 years, and 100% (3/3) > 10 years. All patients in the PS group showed both peritoneal calcifications on abdominal CT scan and poor ultra-filtration at the time of diagnoses. Conclusion Long-term PD was the important risk factor of SEP. If both peritoneal calcification on abdominal CT scan and poor ultrafiltration are observed in a patient on PD more than 5 years, a peritoneal biopsy should be performed. If PS is detected, PD should be discontinued.
