title: [Acute herniation of caecum through foramen Winslowii].
abstract: Internal hernias are rare with an incidence of 0.2-2% and 8% of these are described as herniation through foramen Winslowii. We describe two cases in which caecum is herniating into ''lesser sac'' through foramen Winslowii. Both cases presented with acute upper abdominal pain were diagnosed on a CT-scan within the first days af admission. The patients had acute operations and had a dexter hemicolectomy because of a necrotic part of caecum.
