An obturator hernia is an extremely rare rupture that protrudes through the canal that transmits the obturator vessels. We performed computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis on two elderly debilitated women patients with small bowel obstructions to make a correct diagnosis. We report these with a brief review of the literature.
