Background: Literature is littered with descriptions of the minimally invasive repair of Morgagni-Larrey hernias in children. However, there are few reports about the diaphragmatic defect suture. The aim of this study is to describe a simplified trick to perform a simple and safe suturing technique. Methods: 2 children with left Morgagni-Larrey hernia underwent primary laparoscopic repair. The ...

Chest X-ray revealed an area of condensation at the inferior lobe of the right lung, suggestive of pneumonia (figure 1). This image was similar to another X-r...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernias constitute an infrequent but potentially serious presentation of bowel obstruction in the adult patient. Herein, we present a rare case of an adult patient with strangulation of colon within a Morgagni's hernia where timely recognition and intervention were life-saving. An 18-year-old female presented with an acute abdomen, respiratory failure, and shock seconda...

Morgagni hernia is one of the congenital diaphragmatic hernias, but it can also occur in adults. It usually manifests childhood, rare cases, may present linked to a defect during embryological development diaphragm. Uncommon called foramen often affect right side and are found anterior mediastinum. Typically asymptomatic adult patients, obesity, trauma, or other causes elevated intraabdominal p...

CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIAS (CDHS) OCCUR MAINLY IN TWO LOCATIONS: the foramen of Morgagni and the more common type involving the foramen of Bochdalek. Hiatal hernia and paraesophageal hernia have also been described as other forms of CDH. Pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hypoplasia have been recognized as the two most important factors in the pathophysiology of congenital diaphragmatic...

INTRODUCTION Williams syndrome is rare genetic disorder resulting in neurodevelopmental problems. Hernias of the foramen of Morgagni are rare diaphragmatic hernias and they mostly present on the right side, in the anterior mediastinum. They are usually asymptomatic and are difficult to diagnose, especially in patients with learning disabilities. CASE PRESENTATION This 49-year-old woman with W...

In view of the fact that right-sided hernia of the diaphragm is relatively infrequent, a report on the following case, observed in our Cinic, is of interest. In a series of 276 cases collected by Lacher, only I5 per cent of the total number of diaphragmatic hernias occurred on the right side. The reason seems quite obvious; the bulk of the liver, occupying the right dome of the diaphragm, preve...

Morgagni-Larrey hernia is a rare form of diaphragmatic (2-5% cases) usually diagnosed in children; adults, it often detected emergency cases or accidentally, during examinations surgery. The symptoms the disease are non-specific, so diagnosis made using imaging methods (computed tomography gold standard). Currently, there no single method treating hernias. Closure defect performed with without ...
