Internal herniae are rare, those involving the falciform ligament even rarer.

Of these cases, only one previously reported case involves herniation of the greater omentum through the falciform ligament. We present a second case of an adult man who presented with a 48-hour history of epigastric pain and was found on contrast multidetector CT to have a strangulated transfalciform greater omental hernia. The hernia was repaired laparoscopically and the patient recovered uneventfully.
