Abstract

The obturator hernia is a very rare type of hernia which usually presents in thin, elderly women with poor clinical signs. The preoperative diagnosis is typically difficult, with non-specific signs and symptoms which result in a delay in the diagnosis. Delayed diagnosis is a cause of increased mortality due to ruptured gangrenous bowel. We report two cases of incarcerated obturator hernia presented with a history of intestinal obstruction and the hernia was diagnosed preoperatively by computed tomography.
