Foramen of Winslow herniation is a rare occurrence with a high mortality; it presents a diagnostic challenge with subtle clinical and radiological features. We present a case of caecal herniation through the foramen of Winslow creating a closed loop obstruction which remained undiagnosed until laparotomy. Reduction was achieved with gentle traction after first decompressing the caecum whilst still within the lesser sac.

Internal herniation through the foramen of Winslow (FoW) is a rare, life-threatening diagnosis. We present a case of intestinal obstruction due to herniation of the ileum, cecum, appendix, and ascending colon through the FoW. We reduced the herniation using a small colotomy and preserved the entirety of the bowel.

Internal hernias account for a minority of cases of intestinal obstruction. Within this group, internal hernias through the foramen of Winslow (FW) are an even rarer subcategory with a paucity of cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a 48-year-old female presenting with right upper quadrant pain akin to biliary colic with sonographic evidence of cholelithiasis.
