Introduction-
Obturator hernia is a rare type of abdominal hernia that is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in the elderly.1An obturator hernia arises when intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal contents protrude through the obturator canal.2Obturator hernia was first identified in 1724, and it is estimated to account for 0.05-0.14% of all hernias and 0.2-1.6% of all small bowel obstructions.3This uncommon hernia is frequently observed in thin, elderly, multiparous women.4Because it is rarely externally apparent or palpable, it frequently goes unnoticed or misdiagnosed.5Computed tomography is increasingly being used to detect obturator hernia in cases of intestinal obstruction, greatly assisting surgeons in emergency management.6
