A congenital anomaly diagnosed in late childhood: Morgagni hernia

Abstract

Morgagni hernia is an uncommon type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and usually diagnosed in older ages with minimal symptoms. However, hernia of Morgagni may be more frequent than the literature suggests since most cases are asymptomatic. These hernias are uncommon in infants and children. In children, the majority present with repeated pulmonary infections; rarely it might present in the neonatal period as acute respiratory distress syndrome. It is diagnosed with lateral chest radiography and confirmed with computarized tomography. Although most of these hernias are asymptomatic, surgical repair is recommended to avoid future complications. Herein we report a 14 year-old boy with Morgagni hernia which was diagnosed after two weeks ongoing cough.
