The purpose of this article is to present the spectrum of radiologic findings of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CPD). CONCLUSION. lthough a rare diagnosis, encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis in patients undergoing CPD has a high morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is often delayed because clinical features are insidious and nonspecific. Radiologic imaging may be helpful in the early diagnosis of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis and in facilitating timely intervention for CPD patients with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. E ncapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, also referred to as sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, is now a well recognized but uncommon serious complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CPD) [1]. The exact cause of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is unknown; however, multiple possible contributing factors have been implicated including the duration of time on peritoneal dialysis, recurrent episodes of bacterial peritonitis, the use of glucose-based dialysate, the presence of endotoxin from bacterial filters, and the use of chlorhexidine [2]. In a large study by Rigby and Hawley [2], the overall prevalence of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis was 0.7%; however, the prevalence increases to 19.4% in patients on CPD for more than 8 years [2]. lthough this condition is more commonly referred to as sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, the term encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is thought to more accurately describe the morphologic changes [3]. Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis in patients undergoing CPD is a condition characterized by fibrotic thickening of the peritoneum. The peritoneum may be opaque, thickened, tanned, or leathery to the naked eye [2]. The thickened, abnormal peritoneum can progress to encase, or encapsulate, small-bowel loops with resultant bowel obstruction when the small-bowel loops eventually become trapped by the fibrotic peritoneum. This process is aggravated if the fibrotic process invades the outer aspect of the wall of the small bowel and causes mural fibrosis [4]. Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality primarily because of acute or subacute small-bowel obstruction, with resultant gut failure and malnutrition, sepsis, and death. In a study by Rigby and Hawley [2], the mortality rate associated with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis was 56%. Diagnosis is made radiologically or surgically; however, the diagnosis of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is often delayed because the clinical features are nonspecific and insidious and may mimic those of the more common diagnosis of bacterial peritonitis. Radiologic imaging may facilitate an early diagnosis of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis to enable appropriate management. The imaging features of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis can be divided into peritoneal abnormalities, small-bowel abnormalities, and loculated fluid collections [5]. In this article, we present the spectrum of radiologic findings in encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis and show the progression of disease in one of our patients. Radiologic mimics of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis include causes of peritoneal calcification, such as pseudomyxoma peritonei; tuberculosis; peritoneal mesothelioma; and calcified peritoneal carcinomatosis. In neonates, meconium peritonitis can mimic encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis [6]. W50 JR:195, July 2010
2 Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis in CPD Patients It is important to diagnose encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis at an early stage because it is important to discontinue peritoneal dialysis once there is a suspicion of development of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. Curative treatment of established encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is surgical excision of the thickened peritoneum and adhesiolysis; however, surgery is high risk in these patient groups, and successful outcomes are more likely in specialist centers [1]. Occasionally, resection of nonviable bowel is necessary. Other less effective treatments include immunosuppression with prednisolone, sirolimus, or tamoxifen; more conservative measures include cessation of peritoneal dialysis and bowel rest with total parenteral nutrition [1, 7]. Peritoneal bnormalities In encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, an inflammatory process affects the peritoneum diffusely, resulting in widespread peritoneal fibrosis. This manifests as peritoneal thickening, which can be smooth or irregular and nodular. Contrast-enhanced examinations show enhancement of the thickened peritoneum (Figs. 1 and 2). The peritoneal thickening progresses to peritoneal encapsulation of the involved small-bowel loops a process that has been described as cocooning of the small bowel by a sheath of fibrous, sclerosed peritoneum [2] (Figs. 1 and 2C). Peritoneal calcification begins as a small plaque that gradually becomes widespread [8], involving both visceral and parietal peritoneum [4]. The visceral peritoneal calcification has also been described as bowel wall serosal or mural calcification or as sclerosing serositis [7] (Figs. 2 and 3). bdominal Radiography Widespread peritoneal calcification can be identified on abdominal radiographs [9] (Fig. 4). However, diffuse peritoneal calcification is mainly associated with advanced encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, and advanced encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis may also occur in the absence of peritoneal calcification (Fig. 5). Typically, mild peritoneal thickening progresses to diffuse, severe peritoneal thickening and eventually to peritoneal calcification. With a high index of suspicion, the irregular nodular peritoneal thickening visualized on the initial examination can raise the possibility of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis and, hence, may prompt cessation of peritoneal dialysis. Small-owel bnormalities Small-bowel dilatation occurs in encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis as the sclerosed, thickened peritoneum surrounds the small-bowel loops, leading to bowel obstruction. Varying lengths of small bowel may be tightly enclosed within pockets of fibrotic peritoneum [4]. This phenomenon has been described as a cocoon of thickened peritoneum that traps small-bowel loops within it; the term cocoon has also been described to occur in other rare conditions [4]. The small-bowel loops are often collected centrally by the encapsulating fibrotic peritoneum (Figs. 2C, 5, and 6). The diffuse inflammatory fibrotic process may progress to involve the outer aspect of the wall of the small bowel, leading to mural fibrosis, thickening of the small-bowel wall (Fig. 2C), adherent bowel loops, narrowing of the bowel lumen, and proximal bowel obstruction [7] (Figs. 1, 2C, and 7). The fibrotic process may manifest as a mass of small-bowel loops tethered together. Ultimately, small-bowel necrosis with perforation may occur [4, 6] (Fig. 3). Ultrasound owel wall thickening has a trilaminar appearance on ultrasound [8] (Fig. 8). lthough small-bowel obstruction can be identified on abdominal radiographs, examination yields additional information such as thickening of the small-bowel wall and the exact site and cause of obstruction. Fluid Collections Imaging Patients on CPD inevitably have dialysate fluid within the abdomen and pelvis. Hence, the presence of free fluid during radiologic investigations in these patients is nonspecific. In encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, the fibrotic, thickened peritoneal membranes can result in loculated ascites [2] (Figs. 6 and 7). s the small bowel becomes involved, tethered and masslike, the tethered small bowel too may produce loculated fluid collections. The fluid collections can increase markedly in size as the disease progresses, as shown in one of our patients who had serial examinations (Fig. 2). In addition, the large fluid collections may contribute to the central location of the tethered small-bowel loops by way of mass effect (Figs. 5 and 6). Conclusion Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is an uncommon but significant complication in patients on CPD. This condition is often progressive and can be fatal. n increased awareness and knowledge of the spectrum radiologic findings of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis may allow early diagnosis of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis and, hence, early management of patients with withdrawal of peritoneal dialysis and peritonectomy. Early imaging diagnosis of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is important because the clinical symptoms of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis are insidious and nonspecific. References 1.
