Morgagni hernia is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia. It is a congenital defect of the diaphragm, often asymptomatic in adulthood and thus usually found only incidentally. Its treatment is predominantly surgical. This article presents three case reports of patients operated in our department.

Delays In Diagnosis

Congenital chest wall deformities occurred in roughly 1% of children and if asymptomatic are often overlooked and taken lightly. This results in a progressive deformity of the chest and delays in diagnosis of the underlying causes. Complications can also develop from the underlying condition. Chest wall deformities are associated with a number of syndromes and other anomalies including abnormalities of the diaphragm. Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is one of the underlying causes of chest deformity. Congenital Morgagni Hernia (CMH) is a rare form of CDH and consists of 3-5% in all CDH. Many cases were delayed in diagnosis due to the subtle presentation or were incidental findings. The consequence of delay in diagnosis can lead to the onset of complications which carries morbidities and even mortality. We report a case of a child with missed diagnosis of a rare condition Morgagni Diaphragmatic Hernia presenting with chest deformity.

Morgagni hernia occurs after a congenital retrosternal diaphragmatic defect; it is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia (1-3% of cases). In general, this pathology is diagnosed in children; in adults it is frequently discovered in emergency or incidentally. Methods: We prospectively evaluated a series of 6 patients admitted to department of surgery IGIMS. Results: Out of 6 patients the laparoscopic approach was used in all cases: one conversion was recorded due to the tight adherences of the herniated viscera (gastric, colon, epiplon). In 4 cases, the surgical cure of hernia was performed by suture and in 2 cases with prosthesis: dual mesh in one case and polypropylene mesh in another case. We did not register morbidity and the mean postoperative stay was 4 days (range 2-6 days). Conclusions: Hernia Morgagni betrays a rare pathology. The most common is asymptomatic but in complicated cases it is a cause of acute surgical abdomen. Surgical treatment is indicated even for asymptomatic cases due to serious complications Morgagni hernia may develop. The laparoscopic approach is ideal, as reduction of viscera in the abdomen is easy and the defect will be repaired by suturing or using a prosthesis, depending on its size.

Background: Since the first report of a diaphragmatic hernia from Ambroise Paré’s necropsy in 1610, the Bochdalek hernia (BH) of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has been the most common types with high morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. Due to the nature of the disease, CDH associated with pregnancy is too infrequent to warrant reporting in the literature. Mortality of obstruction or strangulation is mostly due to failure to diagnose symptoms early. Data sources and study selection: A systematic literature search of maternal BH during pregnancy was conducted using the electronic databases (PubMed and EMBASE) from January 1941 to December 2020. Because of the rarity of the disease, this review included all primary studies, including case reports or case series that reported at least one case of maternal BH in pregnant. Searches, paper selection, and data extraction were conducted in duplicate. The analysis was performed narratively regardless of the control groups’ presence due to their rarity. Results: The search retrieved 3450 papers, 94 of which were deemed eligible and led to a total of 43 cases. Results of treatment showed 16 cases in delayed delivery after hernia surgery, 10 cases in simultaneous delivery with hernia surgery, 3 cases in non-surgical treatment, and 14 cases in hernia surgery after delivery. Of 16 cases with delayed delivery after hernia surgery, 13 (81%) cases had emergency surgery and three (19%) cases had surgery after expectant management. Meanwhile, 10 cases underwent simultaneous delivery with hernia surgery, 6 cases (60%) had emergent surgery, and 4 cases (40%) had delayed hernia surgery after expectant management. 3 cases underwent non-surgical treatment. In this review, the maternal death rate and fetal/neonatal loss rate from maternal BH was 5% (2/43) and 16% (7/43), respectively. The preterm birth rate has been reported in 35% (15/43) of maternal BH, resulting from maternal deaths in 13% (2/15) of cases and 6 fetal loss in 40% (6/15) of cases; 44% (19/43) of cases demonstrated signs of bowel obstruction, ischemia, or perforation of strangulated viscera in the operative field, resulting from maternal deaths in 11% (2/19) of cases and fetal-neonatal loss in 21% (4/19) of cases. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are imperative, as a gangrenous or non-viable bowel resection significantly increases mortality. Therefore, multidisciplinary care should be required in maternal BH during pregnancies that undergo surgically repair, and individualized care allow for optimal results for the mother and fetus.

Morgagni’S Hernia

Abstract Introduction Morgagni hernias are an uncommon form of diaphragmatic hernia, it is rare for them to be diagnosed in adulthood and they are often asymptomatic in this population. Case Report We report a case of a 26-year-old female who used cocaine on a weekly basis who presented to the emergency department with an acutely obstructed right-sided Morgagni’s hernia. She underwent laparotomy which demonstrated transverse colon with ischaemic associated omentum inside the hernia. The hernia was reduced, the ischaemic omentum was excised and the 4x4cm diaphragmatic defect closed with 2-0 ethibond without mesh. Conclusions Following review of the literature, the medical risks of cocaine use are well documented, however they focus on the risks from a pharmacological perspective. Further thought should be given to the effects of inhalant cocaine use and how this may exacerbate herniation from the drastic changes in intrathoracic pressure during inhalation of the substance, this is a new possible risk of cocaine use that is not previously mentioned in the literature and warrants further investigation.

Assessment And Treatment

Wandering spleen and gastric volvulus are two rare entities that have been described in association with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The diagnosis is difficult and any delay can result in ischemia and necrosis of both organs. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl, previously operated on for anterior diaphragmatic hernia and intrathoracic gastric volvulus, that presented to our service for a subdiaphragmatic gastric volvulus recurrence associated with a wandering spleen. In this report we reviewed the literature, analyzing the clinical presentation, diagnostic assessment, and treatment options of both conditions, in particular in the case associated with diaphragmatic hernia.
