description Obturator hernia describes the protrusion of the intra-abdominal viscus through the obturator foramen. It accounts for 0.05-1.4% of all hernias. We present a case of a 72-year-old female, with right-sided inner thigh pain of sudden onset who was subsequently diagnosed with an obturator hernia in the emergency room with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). She subsequently had laparoscopic surgery and improved without complications.
