title: Bilateral congenital anterior diaphragmatic hernia: a case report.
abstract: The anteromedial diaphragmatic hernias of Morgagni and Larrey are the least common defects that occur in this organ. Simultaneous occurrence has been described but remains an absolute rarity. We herein present a case of this bilateral herniation with a unique presentation. The paper refers to the basic anatomic, diagnostic and therapeutic considerations for this entity.
