Double-Pokemon-Ball Sign in Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis Responsive to Far-Infrared Therapy

June 27, 2021

Abstract

Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis. Medical treatment for EPS includes a combination of anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory agents. Despite optimal treatment, EPS is still associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. We present a case of EPS who was successfully treated with tamoxifen and far-infrared therapy. The abdominal computed tomography scan mimicked the “double-Pokemon-ball sign”.
