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.
