| Abstract |
|
Although Morgagni hernias are rarely symptomatic, an 88-year-old woman presented with severe abdominal pain and distension
due to large bowel obstruction. The transverse colon and omentum were herniated through an anterior medial diaphragmatic defect
in the right thorax. The plain abdominal X-rays indicated intestinal obstruction and the plain chest X-ray showed hazy mass-like
densities. The multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) findings were compatible with a Morgagni hernia. This diagnosis
of a Morgagni hernia was confirmed at immediate surgery. (Korean J Med 76:481- 484, 2009) |
