==Overview==
An '''obturator hernia''' is a rare type of [[abdominal wall hernia]] in which abdominal content protrudes through the [[obturator foramen]]. Because of differences in anatomy, it is much more common in women than in men, especially multiparous and older women who have recently lost a lot of weight. It often presents with [[bowel obstruction]]. The Howship-Romberg sign is suggestive of an obturator hernia, exacerbated by thigh extension, medial rotation and adduction. It is characterized by lancilating pain in the medial thigh/obturator distribution, extending to the knee; caused by hernia compression of the obturator nerve.
