Introduction And Importance:
The foramen of Winslow hernia (FWH) is a rare type of internal hernia. In one-third of cases, the cecum was found in the lesser sac. More rarely, the herniated cecum might be volvulated, which represents 1-1.5% of the causes of intestinal obstruction. Once diagnosed, surgical reduction and/or resection of the nonviable herniated bowel is crucial for a positive outcome.
Case Presentation:
The authors report a case of retroperitoneal cecal volvulus that complicated FWH in a patient with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Clinical Discussion:
A delay in the diagnosis is associated with high morbidity and even higher mortality. Because of lacking a consensus, the treatment of FWH depends on the team's surgical experience.
Conclusion:
Reporting this case will help us to keep in mind this differential diagnosis while treating patients in our daily practice.
