Abstract EN
Morgagni hernia is a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
It accounts for only 3% of all diaphragmatic hernias.
The defect is small and hernia being asymptomatic in the majority presents late in adulthood.
Obstruction or incarceration in Morgagni hernia is uncommon.
We report a rare occurrence of strangulated Morgagni hernia.
A 40-year-old gentleman presented to our emergency department with features of intestinal obstruction.
Computed tomography of the chest and abdomen showed a strangulated right Morgagni hernia.
An exploratory laparotomy was performed with resection of the ischemic bowel segment with anastomosis and a primary repair of the diaphragmatic defect.
Postoperative recovery was uneventful and asymptomatic at follow-up.
