• Internal hernia
• Caecal herniation
• Foramen of Winslow
• Lesser sac

Caecal herniation through the foramen of Winslow is a rare entity of which radiologist should be aware. We present a case of this entity in a patient presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis and ongoing epigastric pain. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated herniation of the caecum into the lesser sac via the foramen of Winslow. Despite the caecum appearing viable at the time of surgery, the surgeons performed a right hemicolectomy via laparotomy to prevent future recurrence.
