摘要
Morgagni's hernias represent between 2 and 4% of the whole of nontraumatic diaphragmatic hernias in the adult, and the treatment (even with minimal symptoms) is always with surgery. We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with an oppressive, postprandial discomfort in the right side of her thorax and with increased pain when supine. The x-ray examination indicated a large portion of transverse colon inside the thoracic cavity, Once the diagnosis of Morgagni's hernia had been obtained, she was scheduled for laparoscopic surgery to reduce the hernia and to reconstruct the defect of the diaphragm using a polypropylene mesh.
