“INTERNAL HERNIA THROUGH FORAMEN OF WINSLOW: A CASE REPORT”

Hernia through the foramen of Winslow is relatively rare and seldomly seen. The patients usually have vague abdominal pain and present with symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. We present a case of a 66-year-old female who presented acutely in ER with right hypochondrial pain, abdominal distension, and vomiting. The patient initially had an ultrasound of the abdomen which showed mild free fluid and was advised a CT scan. She then underwent a non-contrast CT of the abdomen and pelvis which revealed internal hernia through the foramen of Winslow.
