Abstract

Obturator hernias (OH) are rare, causing 0.2 to 1.6 mechanical obstructions in the small intestine, with postoperative mortality and morbidity of 35% and 18%, respectively.

We report a case of a patient diagnosed with a strangulated OH during the evaluation of obstruction.

OH is difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to its low clinical specificity. Computed tomography examination appears to be a significant aid in etiological diagnosis. However, once the diagnosis of obstruction is established, emergency intervention can reveal the etiology and propose treatment. Delayed treatment increases mortality and morbidity.
