Left Paraduodenal Fossa, aka Landzert’s fossa. The fossa can be conceptualized as the recess formed by the tenting of the posterior peritoneum by the IMV, the ascending branch of the left colic artery, or both (as the positions of these vessels relative to one another are variable). This tenting creates a fold, or lip, behind which abdominal contents can herniate in a right-to-left fashion (arrow).
