Core Tip	Abdominal cocoon syndrome, also known as idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, is a rare disease entity, in which the small intestine becomes encased and mechanically obstructed by a dense, fibrotic membrane. While some patients with cocoon syndrome remain asymptomatic, the majority experience gastrointestinal symptoms, including recurrent attacks of acute, sub-acute or chronic gastrointestinal obstruction, weight loss, loss of appetite, and development of a palpable abdominal mass. Herein, we describe an elderly patient who presented with signs of intestinal obstruction and who was diagnosed with concurrent abdominal cocoon, right incarcerated Meckel’s diverticulum, and gastrointestinal perforation by exploratory laparotomy.
