title: Richter's hernia.
abstract: Richter's hernia is associated with rapid onset of gangrene and a high mortality. We report a case of a strangulated inguinal Richter's hernia of the cecum requiring a laparotomy and bowel resection. Due to the misleading clinical presentation, a high index of suspicion, particularly in patients with a history of laparoscopic surgery, will minimize delay in diagnosis.
