Abdominal cocoon: multi-detector row CT with multiplanar reformation and review of literatures

Qingbing Wang et al. Abdom Imaging. 2010 Feb.

Abstract

The abdominal cocoon is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction that is usually diagnosed at the time of laparotomy. We report a case, show the features of MDCT scanning with multiplannar reformation, and discuss the preoperative diagnostic clues obtained by radiologic imaging and pathologic correlation.
