A rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the adult: Morgagni's hernia.
Hernia. 2003 Jun; 7(2):97-9.H

Abstract

Morgagni's hernia is a rare congenital diaphragmatic herniation and is usually diagnosed in childhood. It is quite rare in adults, and intestinal obstruction as a complication due to intrathoracic intestinal herniation rarely occurs. We present the plain radiography and computed tomography findings of an adult patient with acute abdomen symptoms due to Morgagni's hernia.
