And Mow, lies the superior part of the duodenum, with the hepatic artery running forwards and to the right beneath the foramen, before turning up into the lesser omentum. It should be remembered that, normally, the various boundaries of the foramen lie in contact, and that its cavity can only be said to exist as such when its walls are drawn apart. Beyond the foramen epiploicum is a small portion of the omental bursa Falciform ligament Duodenum ; superior part Great sac Great sac Gastro-splenic ligament Lieno-renal ligament.
