Article Synopsis
- * Most CDHs are detected in newborns due to serious complications like pulmonary issues, but Morgagni hernias can remain asymptomatic for years.
- * A 63-year-old male experienced severe epigastric pain and vomiting, leading to the discovery of his Morgagni hernia and incarcerated bowel in his pericardial sac, resulting in cardiac tamponade and cardiac arrest, necessitating surgical intervention.
A portal vein aneurysm is the dilatation of the portal vein due to a defect in the vein wall. This rare disease manifestation is difficult to predict and has the potential for severe complications. We describe the case of a 68-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle collision who presented with abdominal hemorrhage found on ultrasound, hypotension, and vague abdominal pain.

Conclusion: The current role of ultrasound for adult bowel evaluation is limited in the United States, with CT emerging as the primary modality for evaluation of the acute abdomen. However, mounting concerns regarding diagnostic radiation and health care costs may affect practice patterns and shift utilization back toward sonography, which is widely available and relatively inexpensive.
