Obturator hernia



An obturator hernia is a rare type of abdominal wall hernia in which abdominal content protrudes through the obturator foramen. Because of differences in anatomy, it is much more common in women than in men. It often presents with bowel obstruction. The Howship-Romberg sign is suggestive of an obturator hernia.
