Foramen of Morgagni hernia diagnosed by liver scan.
A case of foramen of Morgagni hernia (partial eventration of the right diaphragm) containing liver was diagnosed by hepatic scintiphotography. Diagnostic pneumoperitoneum has been recommended as the procedure of choice in the past. It is suggested that this be replaced by liver scaning. The similarity between eventration of the right diaphragm and foramen of Morgagni hernia is discussed.
