“…Multiple concomitant abdominal hernias are very unusual [10]. There were only several documents of individual cases with simultaneous hernias such as bilateral inguinal and femoral hernias, occult and groin hernia, concomitant bilateral inguinal, femoral, and obturator hernias, ... [10][11][12][13]. These cases usually occur in geriatric patients and involve multiple abdominal wall defects.…”

“…Our patient's characteristics are consistent with previous reports that obturator hernia is common in the elderly, chronically ill, multiparous, and malnourished women with multiple comorbidities. The most common signs and symptoms of obturator hernia include bowel obstruction, abdominal pain, groin pain, and a palpable groin mass [12]. Patients may also have the Howship-Romberg sign, associated with inner thigh pain when internally rotating the hip; and the Hannington-Kiff sign; characterized by loss of adductor reflexes [15].…”

Multiple complicated concurrent hernias with obturator hernia and paraesophageal hernia unusually occur in clinical settings. The obturator hernias belong to a rare pelvic hernia that accounts for a minority of all abdominal hernias. Besides, paraesophageal hernias occur commonly in elderly female patients. Clinical manifestations of these hernias are usually unspecific and the diagnosis is based on computed tomography (CT). In this paper, we presented a case of multiple complicated hernias in an 81-year-old woman. She was admitted to our hospital due to intestinal obstruction that was caused by a simultaneous obturator and paraesophageal hernia. She was successfully treated by laparoscopic hernia repair. Postoperative progression was favorable. She was then discharged from the hospital after four hospital days.
