Anteromedial subcostosternal defects, also known as a diaphragmatic hernia of Morgagni (MH), allow potentially life-threatening herniation of the abdominal organs into the thorax. Constituting only a small fraction of all types of congenital diaphragmatic hernias, correct diagnosis of MH is often delayed, owing in large part to nonspecific associated respiratory and gastrointestinal complaints. Once identified, the primary management for both symptomatic and incidentally discovered asymptomatic cases of MH are surgical correction because the herniated contents present increasing risk for strangulation. Various thoracic and abdominal surgical approaches have been described without a clear consensus on preference for operative repair technique. In this article, the literature regarding management of MH within the past decade is reviewed, and an illustrative case of laparoscopic repair of a MH with novel reinforcement using a Falciform ligament onlay flap is presented.

HighlightsMorgagni hernias represents a rare subtype of diaphragmatic congenital hernias manifesting usually during early childhood.An innocuous or asymptomatic presentation render diagnosis of Morgagni hernias a challenging procedure.In our case, an adult female patient presented with a giant Morgagni hernia, initially diagnosed as a paraesophageal hernia.Early treatment of such cases is advised due to potential fatal complications. Laparoscopic surgery is considered the best approach.
