Rapid patient transfer to the closest hospital, maximal speed in establishing a diagnosis, and highly trained prompt surgical intervention are all crucial to achieving a positive result in the treatment of these critical patients.

A problem encapsulated - role of CT.

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a rare but serious complication of abdominal surgery, recurrent peritonitis, and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis with a high morbidity and mortality. The etiology of this condition is largely unknown. Diagnosis is usually established at laparotomy in patients with recurrent attacks of non-strangulating, small bowel obstruction.

Trichobezoar.

Trichobezoar is an uncommon condition often presenting, among other signs, with a history of trichotillomania and trichophagia. We report an unusual case of gastric trichobezoar with extension into jejunum in a patient with an unusual habit of ingesting hair plucked from other people's scalp.
