Tel: 90 422 341 0660 Fax: 90 422 341 0728-29 Diaphragmatic hernias (DH) are rare congenital defects with different types. Morgagni hernia (MH) is the least frequent one. Although Morgagni hernia is a surgical condition, for its asymptomatic course, diagnosis is usually incidental in a pediatric unit. Morgagni hernia can be associated with other congenital anomalies such as heart defects, omphal...

BACKGROUND Morgagni hernia is a congenital diaphragmatic defect that rarely presents with symptomatic findings in adults. The presence of one diaphragmatic defect may decrease the occurrence of a separate diaphragmatic defect. Appendicitis may be a unique presentation of incarcerated bowel in a Morgagni defect. CASE PRESENTATION Review of recent literature and presentation of a patient with M...

Morgagni hernia is a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. It accounts for only 3% of all diaphragmatic hernias. The defect is small and hernia being asymptomatic in the majority presents late in adulthood. Obstruction or incarceration in Morgagni hernia is uncommon. We report a rare occurrence of strangulated Morgagni hernia. A 40-year-old gentleman presented to our emergency departmen...

Morgagni hernia is a disease in which the abdominal contents herniate into the thoracic cavity through a congenital parasternal defect of the diaphragm resulting from an increased intra-abdominal pressure. Obesity, pregnancy, and a history of trauma are considered predisposing factors of Morgagni hernia. However, there is slight evidence that trauma has been the factor. Moreover, Morgagni herni...

The incidence of Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias among adults is very rare. The purpose of this study was to determine retrospectively the prevalence and characteristics of adult Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias in a decade. Consequently, we demonstrated 12 patients with Bochdalek and 8 patients with Morgagni hernias. We presented plain radiography, operation images, and computed tomography findin...

Morgagni hernia is the rarest of all congenital diaphragmatic hernias, first described in 1769. It is rarely symptomatic and found on routine radiological examinations for other conditions. Gastric outlet obstruction in adults with Morgagni Hernia is exceedingly rare. An 80-year-old man was taken to the operating room with a diagnosis of Morgagni hernia with gastric outlet obstruction. An upper...

INTRODUCTION Morgagni hernia is a rare entity that accounts for 3-5% of diaphragmatic hernias. They are mostly asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. Surgical treatment is indicated once diagnosis is made. Abdominal or thoracic accesses are possible using open or minimally invasive technique. METHODS We report two cases of laparoscopic assisted repair of Morgagni hernia conducted by primar...

Introduction. Morgagni hernia is a rare form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Case Presentation. We present three cases of Morgagni hernia with GI symptoms treated by laparoscopic surgery. Discussion. Hernial sac was excised in two cases and left in situ in one case. There was no recurrence in symptoms after 30 months from surgery.

A hernia of Morgagni (also called hernia of Morgagni-Larrey) is a congenital herniation of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity through a retrosternal diaphragmatic defect. The Morgagni hernia can create uncertainty in its diagnosis and difficulty for subsequent treatment. If after clinical examination and x-ray we suspect the hernia, computed tomography imaging should be the desired ima...
