Case report: acute bowel obstruction with an isolated transition point in peritoneal dialysis patients; a presentation of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis? Context: Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is classically described as progressive sclerosis and cocooning of the entire peritoneum; however, there has been limited number of reported cases of localized fibrosis as a variant form. We describe two cases of acute bowel obstruction with isolated transition points in the setting of long-term peritoneal dialysis.

We postulate that some of the cases of small bowel obstruction with an obvious transition point in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients may represent a unique and localized form of EPS. We aim to emphasize the presence of macroscopic variations in presentation of EPS.
