Morgagni Hernia: An Adult with a Congenital Anomaly

Although Morgagni hernia is the rarest type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, it is clinically important due to the potential for delayed diagnosis and associated complications. Its bimodal age distribution underscores the importance of recognizing this condition in both pediatric and adult populations, where symptoms can range from asymptomatic findings to severe pulmonary or gastrointestinal issues. Accurate diagnosis depends on imaging, with lateral chest x-rays often identifying initial signs, while advanced modalities like CT or MRI may provide definitive confirmation.
