| Abstract | An obturator hernia is a rare type of abdominal hernia that can cause acute intestinal obstruction. Meckel’s diverticulum, the most common gastrointestinal tract malformation, is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. The combination of obturator hernia and Meckel’s diverticulum is extremely rare. We report a rare case of obturator hernia with Meckel’s diverticulum in a 76-year-old woman who presented at the emergency room with complaints of abdominal pain. The diagnosis was confirmed by a computed tomography (CT) scan and exploratory laparotomy. Since obturator hernia is uncommon and rarely associated with Meckel’s diverticulum, we described the imaging features in this case study. | en |
