Abstract |
Case presentation: Discussion:
Obturator hernia is a rare surgical phenomenon with a varied clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic to presenting as intestinal obstruction. The CT scan plays a critical role in the detection of obturator hernias, which ameliorates the possible significant postoperative morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: This report demonstrates that a high index of suspicion combined with CT imaging aids in early diagnosis and management, thus overcoming the reluctant morbidity.
