ABSTRACT

La hernia de Morgagni es una variedad poco frecuente de hernia diafragmática no traumática. En un paciente anciano del sexo masculino se encontró un gran saco herniario que contenía estómago, epiplón mayor y colon transverso, encarcelados a través de un defecto diafragmático retroesternal, lo cual es muy raro en la vejez. El paciente tenía antecedentes de litiasis vesicular, úlcera duodenal y diastasis de los músculos rectos abdominales, e ingresó con dolor torácico, epigastralgia, aerogastria, distensión en la porción superior del abdomen y vómitos. El diagnóstico se obtuvo mediante radiografías posteroanterior y lateral del tórax y del abdomen. Se realizó una laparotomía de urgencia y se encontró una hernia de Morgagni encarcelada sin afectación vascular. Se redujo el contenido, se resecó el saco herniario, se reparó el defecto herniario y se efectuó la colecistectomía. La recuperación posoperatoria fue inmediata y completa. El seguimiento posoperatorio de 6 meses no mostró recidiva herniaria(AU)


Morgagni hernia is an uncommon variety of non-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia, usually located in the right-side anterior diaphragm. A big herniary sac, which contained the greater omentum, the stomach, and the transverse colon incarcerated due to a retrosternal diaphragmatic defect, was found in an old male patient. This is very unusual finding in the elderly. This patient had a history of cholelithiasis, duodenal ulcer and diastasis recti. He was admitted at the hospital with chest pain, epigastralgia, aerogastria, upper abdominal distension, and vomits. He underwent emergency radiological studies. The diagnosis was based on chest posterior-anterior and lateral X-rays of the chest and the abdomen. Emergency laparotomy was performed to find Morgagni hernia without any vascular effect. The content was removed, the hernia sac was excised, the Morgagni foramen was repaired and cholecistectomy was performed. The recovery of the patient was complete and immediate postoperatively. The six-month follow-up showed no hernia recurrence(AU)
