Item Consecutive, Bilateral Obturator Hernia in a Single Case(2023) Aydin, H. O.; Soy, E. H. A.; Avci, T.; Tezcaner, T.; Yildirim, S.Obturator hernia (OH) is a rare pelvic hernia. It is difficult to make an early diagnosis due to the absence of a palpable mass, so it has a high morbidity and mortality rate, and there is delay in surgery. Here, in this report, we present a case of bilateral OH diagnosed at different times. Our report is meaningful as it reveals consecutive OH in a single case. An 87-year old, female patient admitted to emergency with intestinal obstruction findings. Right obturator herniation was seen in a computed tomography (CT) scan, then she underwent urgent surgery. After 2 months, she admitted with left thigh pain. With these findings, CT scans confirmed left OH. In an elderly, skinny, female patient with non-specific bowel obstruction symptoms and medial thigh pain, OH should be considered. Early and rapid radiologic evaluation, followed by surgery, is essential for successful management of OH.Item Rectal diverticulitis mimicking rectal carcinoma with intestinal obstruction: Case report(2015) Ozcelik, Umit; Bircan, Huseyin Yuce; Eren, Eryiğit; Demiralay, Ebru; Isiklar, Iclal; Demirag, Alp; Moray, Gokhan; 25698274Although diverticular disease of the colon is common, the occurrence of rectal diverticula is extremely rare with only sporadic reports in the literature since 1911.

Here we report the case of a 63-year-old woman presenting with rectal diverticulitis mimicking rectal carcinoma with intestinal obstruction.
