“…Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are rare anomalies (1/2000 pregnancies) and account for nearly 8% of major birth defects, of which Bochdalek hernia is the most common (95%), being primarily diagnosed in early childhood; Morgagni hernia is less frequent (5%) and is usually identified in adults 1 2. The diaphragm defect is on the left in 80% of patients 1.…”

“…Concurrent unilateral disease is rarer still, with most reported cases including eventrations or multiple central tendon defects as part of the complex of defects (3). There are only two other reported cases of concurrent ipsilateral Bochdalek and Morgagni hernia and both were repaired in an open fashion via a laparotomy (4,5). We present the first reported cases of concurrent unilateral Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias repaired completely by minimally invasive techniques, employing thoracoscopy to repair the Bochdalek defect and laparoscopy for the Morgagni defect during a single anesthetic event.…”

Introduction: Multiple unilateral congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) are extremely rare, described only five times in the medical literature. Concurrent ipsilateral Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias are rarer still with only two cases previously described. In all reported cases of multiple concurrent defects, the hernias were repaired in an open fashion, either via a thoracotomy or laparotomy with both of the two combined Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias repaired via laparotomy. Case Presentation: In this case report we have a 2-day-old who developed respiratory distress and on CT scan was found to have a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) or eventration. This patient is ideal for this case report because he meets a lot of the previously established criteria for minimally invasive repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernias -minimal respiratory compromise, no congenital heart defects -and he has synchronous defects which have very rarely been seen before. Here we present the first reported case of concurrent ipsilateral Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias repaired in a one-stage minimally invasive fashion, approaching the Bochdalek hernia thoracoscopically and the Morgagni laparoscopically. The patient had a quick recovery post-operatively and he continues to do well. Conclusions: From this experience, we argue that in the right circumstances a completely minimally invasive approach can be taken for synchronous congenital diaphragmatic hernias.
