description 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.
