Abstract
The Richter hernia is a rare condition characterized by the incarceration or strangulation of the intestinal antimesenteric border through a small defect of the abdominal wall, being able to progress rapidly for necrosis and perforation. The Richter hernia is more frequent between the sixth and seventh decades of life, representing 5-20% of all hernia strangles and occurs mainly associated with femoral hernias. We report a case of imprisoned Richter's femoral hernia with signs of distress in the elderly male patient.
