Acute traumatic abdominal wall hernia is a rare but serious diagnosis resulting from blunt abdominal trauma. The challenge of managing acute traumatic abdominal hernia is approach and timing of repair. We describe a 32 years male patient’s acute traumatic abdominal wall hernia and its management.

Obturator hernia is a rare form of abdominal hernia and a diagnostic challenge. It is commonly seen in elderly thin females. Its diagnosis is often delayed with resultant increased morbidity and mortality due to bowel ischemia/gangrene. It is mistakenly diagnosed as femoral or inguinal hernia on USG. Computed tomography is diagnostic and is a valuable tool for preoperative diagnosis. This report presents a case of 70-year-old thin female presenting with intestinal obstruction due to left sided obstructed obturator hernia. USG showed small bowel obstruction and an obstructed left sided femoral hernia. CT scan of abdomen and pelvis with inguinal and upper thigh region disclosed left sided obturator hernia. It also detected clinically occult right sided obturator hernia. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment contribute greatly in reducing the morbidity and mortality rate.

ABSTRACT Spigelian hernia is a rare hernia constituting 0.1 to 2% of all hernias and needs high degree of clinical suspicion to diagnose. It has high chances of strangulation and hence operative management is advised. Traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH) is yet another type of rare hernia usually occurring due to blunt trauma. This patient presented with TAWH with features of strangulation, at the anatomical site of Spigelian hernia mimicking a strangulated Spigelian hernia. He underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy, resection and anastomosis of involved small bowel segment with anatomical repair of defect. Patient recovered uneventfully in postoperative period.
