Bilateral obturator hernias: case report, radiographic characteristics, and brief review of literature.
Obturator hernia is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, and bilateral obturator hernias are even rarer. Early diagnosis can decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with these lesions. We present the case of a patient with bilateral obturator hernias, discuss the radiographic findings, and briefly review the literature.
