title: Interstinal obstruction due to obturator hernia {a rarest presentation}.
abstract: An obturator hernia is a rare variety of abdominal hernia that presents with a confusing clinical picture. We present a case of 74-year-old woman who admitted to our hospital because of abdominal distention, abdominal pain, and vomiting for 3 days. Incarcerated intestinal obstruction due to the right-sided obturator hernia was found preoperatively. Perforation of the small bowel due to incarceration was noted during laparotomy. Bowel resection and anastomosis were done. She was recovered after 15 days of postoperative care. In this case report, we emphasize that preoperative high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis and treatment.
