“…These defects are referred to as foramen of Morgagni hernia (MH), Larrey's hernia or retrosternal hernia. However, MH is the most common terminology [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. It is a rare type of diaphragmatic hernia, accounting for less than 5% of all cases [1,9,10].…”

“…MH has been reported in association with other congenital malformations, including congenital heart diseases (CHD), chest wall defects, intestinal malrotation and chromosomal anomalies [1,[9][10][11][12][13]. We report our 23-year experience with the management and clinical significance of associated congenital anomalies in patients with MH.…”

Morgagni hernia (MH) is a congenital herniation of the abdominal organs through the subcostosternal portion of the diaphragm. It is a rare type of diaphragmatic hernia that has been associated with other congenital anomalies. The purpose of this clinical review was to determine the incidence of associated anomalies in patients with MH at a major pediatric referral center. The medical records of all patients with the diagnosis of MH were reviewed retrospectively between 1983 and 2006. The age, sex, side of herniation, presenting symptoms and signs, associated anomalies, radiologic features, intraoperative findings, postoperative course, complications, and mortality were recorded. There were 11 males and 5 females. The average age of the patients was 34.5 months (range 2 months-14 years). Twelve patients (75%) had at least one associated congenital malformation and eight (66.6%) of them had multiple anomalies. Six (37.5%) patients had a chromosomal anomaly, Down's syndrome in five and Turner syndrome in one. MH has a high incidence of associated congenital malformations.

“…They may present with severe respiratory distress, recurrent chest infections, or intermittent gastrointestinal symptoms. [9] The incidence of male and female cases in children is roughly equal. [10] Computed Tomography is considered the gold standard for diagnosing and evaluating Morgagni hernias and other diaphragmatic defects.…”

Morgagni hernias are rare defects which comprise approximately three percent of congenital diaphragmatic hernias. They are often found incidentally but may present with symptoms of bowel obstruction due to viscera entering the hernia sac. Here we present a case series of two Morgagni hernias. The first case is an elderly woman who presented with strangulated transverse colon in the hernia sac, and the other is a young man who complained of vague chest discomfort. These cases exemplify the varied clinical presentation of Morgagni hernias, the importance of being cognizant of their pathology, and their treatment.

“…Most commonly, CMLH patients present with repeated attacks of pneumonia or vague, unspecifi c gastrointestinal symptoms. Although Berman et al concluded that late presenting CMLH is relatively benign, it causes signifi cant morbidity, [6,[8][9][10] especially if the patient is not adequatly investigated, the diagnosis can be missed or delayed.…”

“…This is of great importance and must be kept in mind when considering the operative approach as well as intraoperatively to obviate the risk of postoperative volvulus. [10] An interesting fi nding was the remarkably high incidence of associated anomalies in those with bilateral CMLH compared to those with unilateral hernia. In our series, only 10 (66.7%) of those with unilateral CMLH had associated anomalies compared to a 100% incidence in those with bilateral CMLH.…”
