title: Morgagni hernia and thoracic deformities.
abstract: We report two cases of Morgagni hernia associated with pectus carinatum. This association is exceptional; only two other cases have been reported so far. In one of our patients, an abdominal surgical approach was used to repair the Morgagni hernia and to perform a Nissen-Rossetti procedure (for an associated endobrachyesophagus); the patient did not require correction of the pectus carinatum. In the other patient, both thoracic deformity and Morgagni hernia were repaired using the same thoracic approach.
