Toldt's fascia

Toldt's fascia, is a discrete layer of connective tissue containing lymphatic channels.^[1] It is found between the two mesothelial layers that separate the mesocolon from the underlying retroperitoneum. It was first described by the Austrian anatomist Carl Toldt (1840–1920) as a fascial plane formed by the fusion of the visceral peritoneum with the parietal peritoneum. This was later called Toldt's fascia.^[2]
