    Author: Mińkowski D, Komarowski G, Karoń J.
    Journal: Wiad Lek; 2006; 59(1-2):128-30. PubMed ID: 16646309.
    Abstract:
    Strangulated obturator hernia is a very rare condition found almost always in elderly, debilitated multiparas usually with concomitant severe chronic illnesses. The authors presented a case of a young, 35-years-old woman of normal constitution, nullipara, without previous abdominal surgery. This unusual clinical picture despite the symptoms of intestinal obstruction caused difficulties in the correct preoperative diagnosis. It is the youngest case of patient with strangulated obturator hernia described in Polish medical literature.
