ABSTRACT
Morgagni's hernia constitutes about 3% of all the congenital diaphragm hernias. It is usually asymptomatic and it is frequently found coincidentally during routine diagnostic testing in adulthood. It is usually diagnosed by simple chest X-ray, but when this condition is without intestinal herniation, then chest CT or other modalities are necessary. Operative repair is desirable when there is the risk of strangulation of the intestine. The trans-thoracic or trans-abdominal approaches are possible to treat this malady. We report here on one case for which we successfully used a laparoscopic approach to treat this problem.
