Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a very common intrathoracic fetal anomaly with Morgagni hernia typically seen on right side anteriorly and Bochdalek hernia on left side posteriorly, because of the protective effects of liver and heart on either side respectively. Hiatal hernias range from herniation of a small portion of stomach into thoracic cavity to herniation of entire stomach into the l...

INTRODUCTION Hernias comprise 3% of all defects of the diaphragm. Bilateral hernias are extremely rare and usually occur in children. Here we present a case report of a bilateral Morgagni-Larrey diaphragmatic hernia with an intrathoracic intestinal diverticulum and late presentation. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of this type. CASE PRESENTATION A 37-year-old Hispanic m...

Morgagni hernia is a rare disorder in adulthood, and most of the cases are asymptomatic. Symptomatic cases are extremely rare and present with life-threatening complications. Early diagnosis and surgery are lifesaving. We hereby present an adult case of symptomatic Morgagni hernia. Diaphragmatic herniation of the stomach and mesenteroaxial rotation led to intrathoracic gastric volvulus in this ...

MORGAGNI CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA IN A 7-MONTHS-OLD BOY. A CASE REPORT. (Abstract): Congenital diaphragmatic abnormalities occur in 1/2000 to 1/4000 births. Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are relatively common, with a majority forming posterolaterally through the foramen of Bochdalek. The incidence of Morgagni hernia is about 2% from all the others diaphragmatic hernias. Patients are u...

Morgagnis hernia is rare in pediatrics, representing 1%-6% of all congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH). We report a young boy presented with obstructive jaundice caused by compression of common bile duct (CBD) due to stretching and rotation of second part of duodenum in right-sided Morgagni hernia. Such presentation is rarely reported in literature.

Incidence Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) refers to a congenital defect in the posterolateral diaphragm at the “foramen of Bochdalek.” It is a relatively common cause of neonatal respiratory distress with an overall incidence between 1:2000 and 1:5000 live births. CDH accounts for about 90% of congenital diaphragmatic defects. Eighty to ninety percent of congenital diaphragmatic hernias o...

OBJECTIVE Morgagni hernia is an uncommon type of diaphragmatic hernias whose pathophysiology is not clear. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate morbidity, mortality, and treatment outcomes in 13 cases of Morgagni hernia treated with the subcostal approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between 1993 and 2009, 13 patients with Morgagni hernia were operated in our department. Of the 13 patients with a me...
