ABSTRACT
Intestinal obstruction involves a partial or complete blockage of the bowel which results in the failure of intestinal contents to pass through. The mechanical causes of obstruction may include the followings hernias, postoperative adhesions or scar tissue, impacted feces, gallstones, tumors, granulomatous processes, intussusception, volvulus, foreign bodies, and etc. Hernias are the third leading cause of intestinal obstruction by 10% approximately. However, most hernias are the cases with abdominal wall, inguinal or internal hernia. Femoral, obturator, lumbar, or sciatic hernia as the cause of obsturction is rare. Furthermore, the cases accompanying soft tissue necrosis are seldomly reported. Herein, we report a case of intestinal obstruction caused by strangulated femoral hernia accompanying soft tissue necrosis in a 78-years-old female patient.
