RESUMEN El síndrome de Morgagni-Stewart-Morel es una rara enfermedad que se caracteriza por hiperostosis frontal interna bilateral asociada a alteraciones metabólicas, psiquiátricas, hipertensión arterial y disfunción de pares craneales de etiología no definida. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 77 años con historia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2, hipertensión arterial sistémica y trastorno psiquiátrico, que ingresó en el Servicio de Neurología del Hospital General Universitario Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima de Cienfuegos con cuadro de disartria y hemiparesia derecha. Se realizaron estudios de diagnóstico por imagen de cráneo donde se observó la presencia de hiperostosis frontal interna extensa, atrofia cortical y un infarto talámico izquierdo. Durante su estancia hospitalaria se documentó la presencia de obesidad grado I, hirsutismo e hipercolesterolemia. La paciente cumplió con los criterios del síndrome de Morgagni-Stewart-Morel al manifestar la presencia de hiperostosis frontal interna con manifestaciones, endocrinológicas y neuropsiquiátricas. Se presenta el caso con el objetivo de evidenciar el diagnóstico de una enfermedad de baja incidencia en pacientes cerebrovasculares isquémicos con la presencia de una sintomatología que incluye varios factores de riesgo vasculares bien documentados.

ABSTRACT Morgagni-Stewart-Morel syndrome is a rare disease characterized by bilateral internal frontal hyperostosis associated with metabolic and psychiatric disorders, arterial hypertension, and dysfunction of the cranial nerves of undefined etiology. The case of a 77-year-old patient with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension and psychiatric disorder, who was admitted to the Neurology Service of the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University Hospital in Cienfuegos with dysarthria and right hemiparesis is presented. Diagnostic skull imaging studies were performed where the presence of extensive internal frontal hyperostosis, cortical atrophy and a left thalamic infarction was observed. During his hospital stay, the presence of grade I obesity, hirsutism and hypercholesterolemia was documented. The patient met the criteria for Morgagni-Stewart-Morel syndrome by manifesting the presence of internal frontal hyperostosis with endocrinological and neuropsychiatric manifestations. The case is presented in order to demonstrate the diagnosis of a low incidence disease in ischemic cerebrovascular patients with the presence of symptoms that include several well-documented vascular risk factors.

Laparoscopic mesh repair of Morgagni hernia: Two-case report / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#Morgagni hernia is a rare form (accounting for 2%) of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The traditional treatment for Morgagni hernia includes thoracotomy and laparotomy. However, surgical trauma limits its adoption. We reported the results of 2 patients with congenital Morgagni hernias in adults and described the operation methods of the patients. The 2 patients recovered uneventfully. No evidence of recurrence was found after 5 years follow-up. Laparoscopic repair for Morgagni hernia with mesh is applicable for obese, aged and bilateral Morgagni hernias patients.

A rare case of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in adult: an incidental finding during an elective procedure

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia consists of a defect of the diaphragm that allows the passage of abdominal viscera into the thorax. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia most commonly present in infancy and childhood due to respiratory distress. However, a few of them may escape into adulthood. A very few of these adult cases may be identified during a routine medical checkup for various other reasons without any cardio-respiratory problems. In our case report, we have diagnosed incidentally an asymptomatic left diaphragmatic hernia with cardio-mediastinal shifting in a 38 years old female admitted for left breast fibroadenoma excision during a routine pre-anesthetic check-up and underwent breast surgery without any cardio-respiratory problems.

Hernia de Morgagni en el adulto / An Adult with Morgagni Hernia

La hernia diafragmática de Morgagni suele presentarse con poca frecuencia en adultos dado su origen congénito. Por este motivo, suele confundirse desde el punto de vista imagenológico con un lipoma mediastinal, como el caso que nos ocupa. Se presenta un caso de hernia diafragmática de Morgagni en adulto, la cual fue intervenida quirúrgicamente por videotoracoscopia con una evolución posoperatoria satisfactoria(AU)

The Morgagni diaphragmatic hernia usually occurs with a low frequent in adults due to its congenital origin. Therefore, it is often mistaken, imaginologically speaking, for a mediastinal lipoma, as in this case of interest. A case is presented of an adult with a Morgagni diaphragmatic hernia, which was surgically intervened by video-assisted thoracoscopy with a satisfactory postoperative evolution(AU)

RIGHT SIDED CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA OF MORGAGNI TYPE IN ADULTS: A RARE ENTITY

@#Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is an anomaly of infants. It is associated with other anomalies, including pulmonary hypoplasia, malrotation of the gut and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Hence it is essential that it is diagnosed early. Sometimes, it can remain unrecognized till adulthood, if no other associated developmental anomalies, like pulmonary hypoplasia, occur. In adults, it is diagnosed when intestinal contents herniate into the thorax causing pulmonary and intestinal complications. It is mostly present on the left side because of late fusion of the pleuro-peritoneal membranes, and the absence of the liver on the left side. Moreover, it is commonly due to trauma in adults. A case report of a right sided diaphragmatic hernia of Morgagni type in an adult was discussed

Hernia diafragmática: diagnóstico prenatal y pronóstico / Diaphragmatic hernia: prenatal diagnosis and prognosis

La prevalencia de hernia diafragmática congénita es aproximadamente de 1 a 4 por cada 10,000 nacidos vivos. El defecto produce una alteración en el desarrollo del tejido pulmonar que está comprimido por las vísceras herniadas y, por consiguiente, una hipoplasia del lecho vascular pulmonar que puede ser causa de hipertensión pulmonar severa y/o persistencia del patrón de circulación fetal en las primeras horas después del nacimiento. La supervivencia es peor en pacientes cuya saturación de oxígeno preductal más alta registrada es inferior al 85% en las primeras 24 horas de vida. Además, la presión arterial pulmonar elevada (PpCO2) superior a 70 mmHg se asocia con una prognosis negativa. El presente caso es un ejemplo de que a pesar de un diagnóstico prenatal adecuado, la presencia de comorbilidades como: prematurez, sepsis, descompensación hemodinámica, hipertensión pulmonar afectan significativamente la probabilidad de supervivencia. Asi tambien, se sugiere una valoración con enfoque multidisciplinario en la fase prenatal para mejorar el manejo posnatal.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is approximately 1 to 4 per 10,000 live births. This defect affects the development of lung tissue that is compressed by herniated viscera. Consequently, pulmonary vascular hypoplasia causes severe pulmonary hypertension and/or fetal circulation pattern persistence in the first hours after birth. Overall survival is highly affecty when the highest values of preductal oxygen saturation are below 85% in the first 24 hours. Additionally, pulmonary high blood pressure (PpCO2) greater than 70 mmHg is associated with a negative prognosis. In this case, we showed that despite the fact appopiate prenatal diagnosis , the presenece of several complications such as prematurity, sepsis, hemodynamic decompensation, pulmonary hypertension contributes to reduce surival rate. Therefore, it is suggested to perform a multidisciplinary prenatal evaluation to improve postnatal management

Reparación laparoscópica de hernia de Morgagni en un adulto: reporte de caso / Laparoscopic repair of hernia of Morgagni in adult life: case report

Antecedentes: La hernia de Morgagni (HM) es una anomalía rara que constituye el 2-5% de las todas las hernias diafragmáticas, siendo rara su evolución hasta la edad adulta. Caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 34 años que padece durante 3 años cuadros de mareos, diaforesis y disnea de leve a intermitente. En examen físico se ausculta hemitórax derecho hipoventilado. Se le realiza telerradiografía de tórax y tomografía axial computada (TAC), realizando diagnóstico de HM. Se repara quirúrgicamente mediante abordaje laparoscópico exitoso. Discusión: La HM corresponde a un defecto congénito de la cara anteromedial del diafragma, cuya presentación es infrecuente en el adulto. Comprende menos del 5% de las hernias diafragmáticas congénitas. Conclusión: Este reporte de caso confirma el concepto de la literatura sobre las ventajas conocidas del tratamiento laparoscópico de esta rara patología.

Background: Morgagni hernia (MH) is a rare anomaly that constitutes 2-5% of all diaphragmatic hernias, the evolution until adult life is rare. Clinical case: 34 year old patient who referred 3 years with mild effort dyspnea. During physical exploration right hemithorax was found with hypoventilated. Chest x-ray showed right diaphragmatic herniation. Computer tomography (CT) diagnosed Morgagni herniation. The patient was programmed for laparoscopic repair with double layer mesh and it was fixated with tackers. Discussion: Morgagni herniation corresponds to a genetical defect in the anteromedial diaphragm, this presentation is rare in adults. It represents 5% of congenital hernias. Conclusion: Laparoscopic repair takes much less time to operate, faster recovery time and less postsurgical pain with short hospital stay.

Presentación de una paciente con síndrome de Morgagni-Stewart-Morel / Presentation of a Patient with Morgagni-Stewart-Morel Syndrome

El síndrome de Morgagni-Stewart-Morel es una rara enfermedad que se caracteriza por hiperostosis frontal interna bilateral asociada a alteraciones metabólicas, psiquiátricas, hipertensión arterial y disfunción de pares craneales de etiología no definida. Se presentó una paciente femenina de 73 años, hipertensa, diabética, obesa, con trastornos psiquiátricos; padeciendo de cefalea, hiposmia e hipoacusia y se constató tomográficamente el engrosamiento frontal interno en relación con el estadio A de la clasificación de Hershkovitz de dicha enfermedad.

Morgagni-Stewart-Morel Syndrome is a rare disease characterized by bilateral hyperostosis frontalis interna associated to metabolic and psychiatric disorders, with hypertension and cranial nerve dysfunction of undefined etiology. A female patient of 73 years, hypertensive, diabetic, obese, was presented with psychiatric disorders; suffering from headache, hyposmia and hearing loss. In the tomographic study a stage A of Hershkovitz classification of the disease was found.

rare case of Bochdalek diaphragmatic hernia with concomitant partial situs inversus.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernias clinically presenting in adulthood are exceedingly rare lesions, mainly left-sided defect (Bochdalek). Bochdalek hernias most commonly manifest during the patient’s first few weeks of life. Diagnosis beyond the first 8 weeks of life is estimated to represent 5-25% of all Bochdalek hernias. Here we have a 32 year old female patient who presented with 10x10 cm diaphragmatic hernia with dextrocardia who was asymptomatic for years.

Unusual Diaphragmatic Hernias Mimicking Cardiac Masses

Hiatal hernia and Morgagni hernia are sorts of diaphragmatic hernias that are rarely detected on transthoracic echocardiography. Although echocardiographic findings have an important role for differential diagnosis of cardiac masses, we often might overlook diaphragmatic hernia. We report three cases of diaphragmatic hernias having specific features. The first case is huge hiatal hernia that encroaches left atrium with internal swirling flow on transthoracic echocardiography. The second case is a hiatal hernia that encroaches on both atria, incidentally detected on preoperative echocardiography. The third case is Morgagni hernia which encroaches on the right atrium only. So, we need to consider possibility of diaphragmatic hernia when we find a cardiac mass with specific echocardiographic features.

Hernia diafragmática no traumática complicada en un anciano / Non traumatic complicated diaphragmatic hernia in an old man

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)

Oclusión intestinal por hernia diafragmática derecha encarcelada / Intestinal occlusion for incarcerate left diaphragmatic hernia

La hernia de Morgagni es un defecto congénito de la cara anteromedial del diafragma, que se presenta de forma infrecuente en el adulto. En la mayor parte de los casos su diagnóstico es un hallazgo incidental, y por lo general, los pacientes se encuentran asintomáticos. Se diagnostican radiológicamente y posteriormente se indica la cirugía por el riesgo de estrangulación. Se presentó un caso clínico de una paciente de 78 años, con previo diagnóstico de hernia diafragmática derecha mediante técnicas imagenológicas, que comenzó con manifestaciones de cuadro oclusivo. Fue operada de urgencia por vía transabdominal, se hizo la reducción del saco herniario donde se encontraba epiplón, colon transverso y parte del estómago, y se reparó el defecto diafragmático. El propósito de este trabajo fue reportar un caso reciente de oclusión intestinal causada por hernia de Morgagni encarcelada, su diagnóstico y abordaje quirúrgico.

The Morgagni hernia is a congenital defect of the diaphragm anteromedial side, infrequently present in adults. In most of the cases its diagnosis is an incidental finding, and in general the patients are asymptomatic. They are diagnosed radiologically, and once diagnosed the surgery is indicated to avoid the risk of strangulation. We presented the clinical case of a 78-years-old female patient with a previous diagnosis of left diaphragmatic hernia obtained using imaging techniques, who began with manifestations of an occlusive picture. She was immediately operated by transabdominal way, reducing the hernia sac containing mesentery, transversal colon and part of the stomach, and the diaphragmatic defect was repaired. The purpose of this work was reporting a recent case of intestinal occlusion caused by incarcerated Morgagni hernia, its diagnosis and surgical management.

Escroto Agudo: frecuente urgencia uro-pediátrica / Acute scrotum: frequent urologic- pediatric urgency

Objetivo: analizar los pacientes tratados por escroto agudo en el Hospital Provincial Pediátrico Docente Eliseo Noel Caamaño, de Matanzas. Pacientes y métodos: entre enero del 2000 al 2010, ingresaron 96 pacientes con escroto agudo, de los cuales 54 fueron diagnosticados de torsión testicular, 26 de torsión de hidátide de Morgagni, 13 de orquiepididimitis aguda asociadas a trauma o no, y 3 de edema escrotal. Resultados: la mayor incidencia fue en la primera década de la vida. En el estudio analizado la torsión testicular fue la primera causa, seguida de la torsión de la hidátide. Conclusiones: los pacientes portadores de estas dos causas de escroto agudo deben ser sometidos a tratamiento quirúrgico lo más urgente posible.

Objective: Analyzing the patients treated for acute scrotum at the Teaching Pediatric Provincial Hospital Eliseo Noel Caamaño, of Matanzas. Patients: From January 2000 to 2010, 96 patients entered the hospital with acute scrotum; 54 of them were diagnosed as testicular torsion, 26 as torsion of Morgagni hydatid, 13 as acute orchiepidydimitis associated to trauma or not, and 3 of scrotal edema. Results: The higher incidence was in the first decade of life. In the analyzed study the testicular torsion was the first cause, followed by the hydatid torsion. Conclusions: the patients who have these two causes of acute scrotum should be objects of surgical treatment as urgent as possible.

Morgagni Hernia Presenting as Obstructive Jaundice.

Morgagni’s hernia is rare in pediatrics, representing 1%-6% of all congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH). We report a young boy presented with obstructive jaundice caused by compression of common bile duct (CBD) due to stretching and rotation of second part of duodenum in right-sided Morgagni hernia. Such presentation is rarely reported in literature.

Congenital Intercostal Lung Herniation Combined with an Unusual Morgagni's Hernia

A 70-year-old male visited urgent care due to coughing for 1 month and left chest pain. He had no history of trauma. The initial chest computed tomography (CT) showed the 7th left intercostal lung herniation. A follow-up CT showed an intercostal lung herniation combined with a bowl herniation, which had developed due to a Morgagni's hernia. An emergency operation was performed due to the incarceration of the bowl and lung. The primary repair of the diaphragm was performed and the direct approximation of the 7th intercostal space was determined. We concluded that the defect of the diaphragm and the intercostal muscle was a congenital lesion, and the recurrent coughing was the aggravating factor of herniation.

The Laparoscopic Repair of a Morgagni Hernia in a Child

A 12-year-old female presented with the abnormal findings on the chest PA. The chest CT revealed a retrosternal defect of the diaphragm and a fatty opacity in the pleural cavity, resulting in a diagnosis of Morgagni hernia. It was decided to undergo a laparoscopic surgery. The retrosternal defect of the diaphragm measuring 3.5 cm in diameter was found, through which a portion of the greater omentum and the fatty tissue connected with the falciform ligament were herniated into the pleural cavity. The greater omentum was pushed back into the peritoneal cavity and the fatty tissue connected with falciform ligament was excised. The mediastinal pleura was plicated and the defect of the diaphragm was repaired primarily. Immediately after the operation, the patient developed a right pneumothorax for which a chest tube was inserted. She was discharged at the post-operative third day without any further complications.

Morgagni hernia with down syndrome: A rare association.

We report a case of a 22-year-old male with Down syndrome and Morgagni hernia, who presented to us with complaints of cough, regurgitation and vomiting. He was successfully treated surgically and the defect was repaired with prolene mesh.
