Thigh neuralgia as a symptom of obturator hernia

A Somell et al. Acta Chir Scand. 1976.

Abstract

A material of 8 patients with obturator hernias is presented. In 7 of the patients a neuralgic pain in the thigh was the main symptom and a hyperesthesia in the cutaneous segment of the obturator nerve was also common. A recognition and an early operation of this condition is important, since the mortality is high when an intestinal obstruction has complicated the disease.
