An Unusual Presentation of Cecal Volvulus With Internal Herniation Through the Foramen of Winslow

Internal hernias through the Foramen of Winslow account for 0.1% of abdominal hernias and 8% of internal hernias, with a mortality rate of 36%-49%. Cecal volvulus accounts for only 1%-1.5% of all intestinal obstructions with a mortality rate of up to 48%. We present a case of a 56-year-old female ev...

description Internal hernias through the Foramen of Winslow account for 0.1% of abdominal hernias and 8% of internal hernias, with a mortality rate of 36%-49%. Cecal volvulus accounts for only 1%-1.5% of all intestinal obstructions with a mortality rate of up to 48%. We present a case of a 56-year-old female evaluated for lower abdominal pain and nausea who received a right hemicolectomy after reduction of a cecal volvulus with internal herniation through the Foramen of Winslow. The ambiguous presentation can complicate initial management, but early detection is essential for quick operative repair and prevention of onset or progression of bowel ischemia and necrosis.
