Ramser M Messmer AS Zbinden I Von Holzen U Nebiker CA 2014 Obturator hernias are a rare form of abdominal wall hernias. We present a case of a patient with an obturator hernia diagnosed by the classical signs of lower abdominal pain, a positive Howship-Romberg sign (painful internal rotation of the hip) and a computed tomography scan showing a herniated loop of small bowel. During the emergency laparoscopic hernia repair (transabdominal preperitoneal approach) a variant vessel, the corona mortis, was detected. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/92844 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1093/jscr/rju081 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/25157088 Journal of surgical case reports. - 2014 Incarcerated obturator hernia-laparoscopic repair with intraoperative view of the corona mortis. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
