[A woman with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting].
A 82-year-old female came to the emergency department because of abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Physical examination was suggestive of ileus. CT imaging of the abdomen showed a sciatic hernia. Familiarity with this rare pelvic floor herniation is essential for making the diagnosis.
