Een oudere, magere vrouw met een pijnlijk been

A 68-year-old female presented with acute abdominal discomfort in the left lower quadrant and a painful left leg. Her medical history only revealed an eating disorder. Physical examination was insignificant. Diagnostic imaging showed an obturator hernia; subsequently, a laparotomy was performed. An obturator hernia, also known as little old ladies’ disease, is associated with abdominal pain and a painful leg.
