Abstract
We report two cases of obturator hernia diagnosed on CT scans. This ex amination contributes to both diagnosis and evaluation of prognosis al lowing for improved treatment by reducing the number of intestinal res ections. Abdominal CT is becoming the first line examination for all o cclusion or subocclusion syndromes with no obvious diagnosis.
