Obturator hernia is a rare type of pelvic hernia in which intraperitoneal contents protrude through the obturator foramen and is most commonly found in females. It accounts for about 1% of all abdominal hernias and possesses a great diagnostic challenge due to the non-specific symptoms and meagre clinical signs. Hereby we report a case of obturator hernia in an nonagenarian emaciated fragile old lady who presented with features of acute Intestinal obstruction and was diagnosed using computed tomography as right sided obturator hernia and eventually was taken up for emergency laparotomy. The herniated segment was resected and anastomosis was done with primary closure of the defect. Postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 7.

Necrotising fasciitis of breast being a rare disease has only a meagre number of cases being reported and most commonly seen following trauma or surgical procedure to the breast. The reported cases have shown a predilection for lactating mothers with a history of surgical intervention to breast. This case series included 3 cases of necrotising fasciitis with varied etiologies in various age groups including a lactating mother, an immunocompromised patient and another patient with no other risk factor such as trauma or surgical intervention to breast and the subsequent difference in extent of surgical intervention and management in these patients. Extensive surgical debridement at the earliest was the mainstay of treatment in all three cases.
