title: Cecal herniation into the lesser sac: double-contrast study of one case.
abstract: In a 45-year-old woman with abdominal pain and vomiting, plain films and barium studies showed a gas and fluid collection displacing the stomach anteriorly and to the left, and outlined by haustral folds. These signs were suggestive of cecal herniation through the epiploic foramen and eliminated the possibility of a lesser sac abscess. The diagnosis was confirmed by a double-contrast barium enema. Symptoms spontaneously resolved, and 4 years later, the patient was in good health, and without abdominal complaint.
