Richter's hernia has a misleading presentation with absence of typical intestinal obstructive symptoms leading to delay in making a diagnosis, tendency to strangulation and eventual spontaneous fistula formation. This article explores a case of enterocutaneous fistula that was managed non-operatively until spontaneous closure.
