Internal herniation of cecum through the foramen of Winslow and into the lesser sac: A case report.

An internal hernia is a protrusion of a visceral organ through a peritoneal or mesenteric opening within the abdominal or pelvic cavities. Internal hernias may present with a wide range of symptoms from mild digestive pain to acute abdomen. Internal hernias have a high morbidity and mortality rate often due to delayed diagnosis and progression of bowel obstruction to bowel ischemia or infarction.
