title: [Morgagni's hernia. A case report].
abstract: A case of Morgagni's hiatal hernia is presented. Because of clinical symptoms (dizziness and chest pain) the patient was referred to the Cardiology Department and the diagnosis was a casual finding. The hernia sac contained transverse colon, great omentum and round ligament. We comment on the mechanism, etiologic factors, diagnosis, and surgical treatment. The present case was treated by an abdominal approach.
