ABSTRACT
We present the imaging findings in 2 adolescent girls with abdominal cocoon formation, a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. It may be primary/idiopathic or secondary in nature and is characterized by small bowel encapsulation. Familiarity with the imaging findings and a high index of suspicion helps in reaching the diagnosis pre-operatively in this rare condition and hence planning surgical management
