Chronic Encapsulated Sclerosing Peritonitis (CESP) is a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction that has been associated with certain chronic conditions. It is characterized by the thickening of the peritoneum, generating a membrane that covers the intestinal loops and prevents their adequate mobilization. Most cases present as a surgical emergency, making the diagnosis during surgery; however, imaging studies can support the pre- surgical diagnosis. Treatment is based on the clinical context of the patient, based on medical management with corticosteroids in a stable patient or surgical management when it presents as an acute complication. The morbidity and mortality associated with this condition is high and epidemiological data are scarce. There is still a lack of studies to describe the associated demographic data, diagnosis and treatment.
