Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Abnormalities
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Morgagni hernia is a rare congenital diaphragmatic defect.
  • It often presents in infancy with respiratory symptoms.
  • Associated malformations can occur.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report five cases of Morgagni hernia in infants.
  • To describe clinical presentation, surgical approaches, and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of five pediatric cases of Morgagni hernia.
  • Surgical intervention utilizing transthoracic or transabdominal approaches.
  • Analysis of hernia contents and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Four cases diagnosed in infants under seven months.
  • All patients exhibited respiratory symptoms; two had associated malformations.
  • Hernia contents included colon, small bowel, liver, omentum, and stomach.
  • Transthoracic approach used for solid contents or difficult differentiation; transabdominal preferred otherwise.
  • Satisfactory surgical results achieved in all patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Morgagni hernia requires prompt diagnosis and surgical management in infants.
    • Both transthoracic and transabdominal approaches are effective.
    • Early surgical intervention leads to favorable outcomes in pediatric cases.
