Morgagni hernia (MH), also known as a retrosternal or parasternal hernia, is a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) characterized by a defect in the anterior diaphragm. Patients with late-diagnosed MH typically present with vague gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms. In some instances, MH is incidentally identified through chest X-rays performed for other reasons, such as foreign body ingestion, as illustrated in our presented case.

Morgagni hernia is a rare condition characterized by a congenital retrosternal defect of the diaphragm, leading to the protrusion of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity. Here, we report the case of a 72-year-old woman with a Morgagni hernia incidentally discovered during evaluation for persistent dyspnea following COVID-19 pneumonia. The diagnosis was made by imaging, including a chest X-ray and a thoracic CT scan, which showed an ascent of the transverse colon and omentum through an anterior retrosternal defect.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a birth defect with different types, including Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias, and can occur in conditions like Marfan syndrome (MFS), which affects connective tissue.
- A child with recurrent respiratory infections was found to have a Morgagni hernia via chest X-ray, leading to ongoing medical evaluations that confirmed a diagnosis of MFS with a mutation in the FBN1 gene.
- The case emphasizes the need for continuous multidisciplinary monitoring for children diagnosed with CDH to identify and manage potential complications, such as cardiovascular issues related to MFS.
