Core Tip	Diagnosing Abdominal Cocoon Syndrome (ACS) poses challenges, often necessitating laparotomy for confirmation. This study presents three distinct ACS cases: one featuring bowel obstruction, another with isolated ischemia, and the last highlighting disparities between radiological findings and surgical assessments. Preoperative computed tomography scans played a crucial role in diagnosis, revealing diverse manifestations such as capsules encasing the bowels, mesenteric congestion, or ambiguous obstructions. Surgical excision of encapsulating structures led to successful recovery. Additionally, one case involved a traumatic event, requiring exploratory laparotomy a year later, where no fibrosis was found around the previously removed intestine. Early clinical suspicion, coupled with precise radiological examination, aids in identifying ACS before surgery. Complete removal of the sac during obstruction/ischemia is the established approach, recommending resection solely for confirmed ischemic complications.
