The study presents a case report of a retrosternal anterior diaphragmatic hernia in a 46-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, nausea, dyspnoea and treated previously as for chronic pancreatitis. A strong suspicion of the diaphragmatic hernia was generated after chest radiograph. However, the exact diagnosis of the Morgagni hernia was established by magnetic resonance imaging. The hernia was repaired through thoracic incision. The postoperative course proved uneventful: the patient was discharged from the hospital 10 days after surgical intervention.
