[Successful treatment of a Morgagni-Larrey strangulated hernia]

Internal hernia with a gate in the sternocostal triangle of the diaphragm (Morgagni-Larrey hernia) is very rare. Strangulated hernia is more common in elderly and senile patients. Diagnosis is difficult and requires instrumental methods. The authors present successful treatment of an 85-year-old patient and appropriate literature data. CT is a highly informative method for diagnosing this pathology. The probability of necrosis of the affected organs is relatively low. Repair with autologous tissues is preferable.
