Abstract | We report an 86-year-old women with an obturator hernia presenting with recurrent right hip pain. Obturator hernia is a diagnostic challenge because the hernial mass is usually concealed beneath the pectineus. It should be suspected in emaciated, multiparous, elderly women presenting with unexplained pain in the groin, hip, thigh, or knee. High levels of clinical suspicion of the high-risk patients and recourse to investigation by computed tomography are important, as delay in diagnosis and treatment is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. |
