An abdominal X-ray displayed multiple dilated loops of the small bowel, coil spring sign and intra peritoneal free air. This  patient underwent a laparotomy and hernioraphy, which identified single perforated jejunal pseudo diverticulum 50 cm from ligamentum of treitz orally from strangulated of ileal on femoral hernia site, and associated fecal contamination. The management for this case was perforation repaired with diverticulectomy, simple closure, and extensive washout of intraperitoneal cavity. The non tension femoral hernia repair was performed with monofilament, macroporous MESH.Conclusion: chronic intestinal obstruction caused by femoral hernia in the elderly can lead a performed of intestinal pseudo diverticulum and lead to significant morbidity and mortality.
