Conclusion-
An obturator hernia is very rare and difficult to diagnose with a high
rate of morbidity and mortality.This type of hernia must be considered
in elderly and chronically ill women with signs of bowel obstruction.
Abdominal CT scan is the best diagnosis tool. Early CT should be taken
into consideration in situations of intestinal obstruction in order to
speed up the diagnosis and, as a result, reduce consequences such bowel
ischaemia and the requirement for bowel resection during surgery.
