Core Tip

Core Tip: Morgagni hernia is an uncommon variant of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. It occurs due to developmental anomalies of the diaphragm, and its discovery in adults is rare. Morgagni hernia was effectively diagnosed in this patient using computed tomography. Timely surgical management is necessary to prevent serious complications such as bowel ischemia or necrosis.
