ABSTRACT
A thick peritoneal membrane that encircles the intestine is a symptom of the rare condition known as cocoon syndrome. It could be the primary cause or a complication of other factors, such as prior abdominal surgery. The inflammatory process is the main cause of it. The primary signs and symptoms of cocoon syndrome are abdominal pain and intestinal blockage. A rare cause of small intestine obstruction, abdominal cocoon syndrome is described as the idiopathic encapsulation of the colon within a fibrocollagenous membrane. In this article, we discuss cocoon syndrome.
