title: [Morgagni's diaphragmatic hernia. Report of 2 cases].
abstract: We present two cases of Morgagni hernia complicated by the clinical picture of intestinal sub-occlusion and gastric strangulation, respectively. Photographs are offered and it is emphasized that plain film radiology followed by barium studies suffices for its diagnosis. An interesting aspect examined in the discussion is the surgical procedure; we used the subxiphoid approach in our cases with excellent results.
