Mechanical intestinal obstruction due to Morgagni hernia

Abstract

Morgagni hernia, is a congenital diaphragmatic type hernia which is rare in adults and contains the displacement of the abdominal organs to the thorax the retrosternal space. We report on a case which was admitted to the emergency department with a mechanical intestinal obstruction. After medical examinations, a mechanical intestinal obstruction due to Morgagni hernia was diagnosed. The patient underwent emergency laparotomy and a reduction and primary repair of the defect was performed. In the differential diagnosis of mechanical intestinal obstruction, a Morgagni hernia should be kept in mind although it is a rare cause.
