title: Foramen of Morgagni hernia: presentation and treatment.
abstract: Morgagni hernias are rare and most often asymptomatic. However, there is always a concern about strangulated bowel. Diagnosis is usually by chest radiograph or CT scan. The surgical approach may be either transabdominal or thoracic. There are increasing reports about the role of minimally invasive approach. The recurrence is low with an excellent prognosis.
