Abstract

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare entity most commonly associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Several imaging features at computed tomography (CT) are common to many diseases; however, appreciation of the features unique to this condition interpreted with the appropriate clinical findings is crucial to diagnosis.
