Abstract EN
Morgagni hernia is an unusual congenital herniation of abdominal content through the triangular parasternal gaps of the anterior diaphragm.
They are commonly asymptomatic and right-sided.
We present a case of a bilateral Morgagni hernia resulting in delayed growth in a 10-month-old boy.
The presentation was unique due to its bilateral nature and its symptomatic compression of the mediastinum.
Diagnosis was made by 3D reconstructed CT angiogram.
The patient underwent medical optimization until he was safely able to tolerate laparoscopic surgical repair of his hernia.
Upon laparoscopy, the CT findings were confirmed and the hernia was repaired.
