Article Synopsis
- Herniation of the bowel through the foramen of Winslow is a rare condition, making up only 8% of internal hernias, and often presents as small bowel obstruction.
- The diagnosis is challenging and can lead to high mortality due to delayed identification, as symptoms are not always typical and imaging techniques like CT scans may fail to reveal the issue.
- A case involving a 25-year-old man highlights these diagnostic difficulties, where he exhibited abdominal pain without common obstruction indicators; surgery ultimately revealed a gangrenous internal hernia needing resection despite normal preliminary tests.
