    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A rare obturator hernia was diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) in this case report. This imaging technique identified bowel between the pectineus and external obturator muscles, aiding diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Anatomy
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Obturator hernias are uncommon abdominal wall hernias.
    • Preoperative diagnosis can be challenging due to subtle or atypical presentations.

    Observation:

    • A case of obturator hernia is presented.
    • Computed tomography (CT) was utilized for preoperative diagnosis.
    • The key CT finding was the visualization of bowel situated between the pectineus muscle and the external obturator muscle.

    Findings:

    • CT successfully identified the anatomical location of the herniated bowel.
    • The diagnostic criteria for obturator hernia on CT were confirmed.
    • Associated findings such as proximal bowel obstruction were considered.

    Implications:

    • Computed tomography is a valuable tool for the preoperative diagnosis of obturator hernia.
    • Accurate diagnosis can facilitate timely surgical intervention.
    • Understanding the anatomical landmarks is crucial for interpreting CT scans in suspected cases.
