abstract: The sterno-costal hernia of Morgagni is a congenital vice in which is represented unfinished fusion of the transverse septum and the muscular diaphragmal wall. The malrotation syndrome is an embryonic vice as well, with various degree of incomplete and even reverse rotation of the gut, because of disturbed or unfinished development of the midgut. The described case presents a 37 years old female without anamnesis of any previous complains, who was pointed to the clinic after a X-ray photograph because of breathless and asteno-adynamic syndrome. After a precise CT investigation performance was found the presence of the above described anomalities, as well as ectopy of the right kidney and the right liver part. An operative treatment was performed with correction of the hernia and the bowel malrotation. The patient was followed up to the 12th month post-operatively. After a review of the literature in the discussion we inspect the diagnostics and the definition of the right surgical tactics and operative approach in this case with combined malformative pathology.
