Perforated Peptic Ulcer Mimicking Strangulated Femoral Hernia – a Rare Presentation
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Peptic ulcer perforation presents no difficulty in diagnosis when large quantity of gastric content floods the peritoneal cavity. Presentation is atypical and diagnosis is difficult when the stomach is either atypical in location or when the leaking gastric content becomes localized in specific areas. Here we present a case of perforated peptic ulcer, presenting as strangulated femoral hernia, because of sequestration of gastric contents in an empty femoral hernia sac.
