Epiploic Foramen: Also called the Foramen of Winslow. Lying immediately posterior the free margin of the lesser omentum, this opening forms the mouth of the omental bursa (lesser sac) -- a blind-ended peritoneal recess situated posterior to the stomach and lesser omentum. The epiploic foramen is the only communication between the omental bursa and the general peritoneal cavity.
