MORGAGNI HERNIA IN AN INFANT-A Case Report

Abstract

ABSTRACT 

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare anomaly found amongst neonates. CDH is most commonly an incidental finding in the pediatric population. CDH can present as  Bochdalek type which commonly occurs on the left side and Morgagni type , though much rarer , on the right side. Herniation of abdominal contents into  thoracic cavity is a subsequent manifestation. Failure to thrive and recurrent respiratory tract infections are two most common clinical presentations. Here is the case of a nine month old girl initially presenting   with GIT symptomology later turned out to have  Morgagni type CHD on imaging.
