Core Tip	Abdominal cocoon syndrome (ACS) is a rare abdominal disease where a portion or all of the abdominal organs are wrapped in a dense membrane-like fibrous tissue. Intestinal obstruction is the main clinical manifestation of ACS. Because of its rarity and lack of characteristic symptoms, ACS is fairly difficult to diagnose pre-operatively. Surgeons should be aware of this disease when confronted with a case of intestinal obstruction whose abdominal radiography shows intestinal loop aggregation cluster. Accompanying cryptorchidism is possible, and a careful physical examination and operative exploration for the undescended testicle should be performed. Postoperative care and dietary guidance are very important to the rehabilitation of ACS patients. Postoperative re-adhesion and early postoperative inflammatory ileus easily occur after extensive enterolysis.
