“…Although it is congenital, it is most often discovered in adults, with men presenting earlier in life than women. 3 Pulmonary symptoms are the commonest presenting feature followed by abdominal discomfort 3-5 but often it is an incidental finding discovered on a chest radiograph done for some other condition. 2 A high incidence of associated anomalies, commonly congenital heart disease and Down syndrome has also been reported.…”

“…Thoracotomy is the most widely used surgical approach; however, laparoscopic repair has gained popularity since its first report in 1992. 3 A trans-thoracic repair allows better and safer control during thoracic dissection 6 and is especially appropriate when the contents of the hernia are fixed in position at or above the level of the carina. Reduction of these structures can be difficult using the abdominal approach because of dense adhesions and hence a trans-thoracic approach is preferable.…”

Компьютерная томография позволяет точно поставить диагноз, установить тип грыжи и её локализацию, определяя тактику ведения пациента и подход к лечению. Мы демонстрируем одно наблюдение парастернальной диафрагмальной грыжи Ларрея Морганьи и два наблюдения задне латеральных грыж Богдалека. Все случаи были асимптоматичными и не потребовали хирургического лечения.Ключевые слова: врожденная диафрагмальная грыжа, диафрагма, грыжа Богдалека, грыжа Ларрея Морганьи, компьютерная томография.

Computed tomography is used for the correct diagno sis the hernia type and for its localization, facilitating its management and the choice of treatment. We report the case of parasternal diaphragmatic hernia of Morgagni Larrey and two cases of poste riolateral Bochdalek diaphragmatic hernia. The patients showed no symptoms and were not surgi cally treated.

Morgagni hernia is a congenital herniation of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity through a retrosternal diaphragmatic defect and make up about 1 % -5 % of all types of congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Surgical repair of Morgagni hernias is usually indicated when patients are symptomatic and have a high risk of strangulation or incarceration of the contained viscera. 71-year-old male patient admitted to emergency department with a 2-day history of abdominal pain, vomiting and obstipation. Laparoscopic repair for Morgagni hernia was performed. Laparoscopic repair for Morgagni hernia with mesh repair is secure, satisfactory and easily performed.
