Abstract
A case of an obturator hernia preoperatively diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) is reported. The key CT findings for the diagnosis are a bowel loop located posterior to the pectineus muscle, deformed muscular bands of external obturater muscle and dilated bowel loop proximal to the obturator foramen. We believe that CT can be a very useful tool for the diagnosis of obturator hernia.
