This paper presents a 16 months oId Korean male infant with symptomatic Morgagni’ s hernia
in whom the diagnosis was established during the course of treatment of upper respiratory
tract infection and who were operated successfuIIy.
This weII nourished patient was admitted with the chief complaints of mild dyspnea, coughing
and restIessness for 2 days. During treatment and investigation we detected a peristaltic
sound in the right side Iung field and confirmed it as Morgagni hernia by chest X-ray and
barium swaIIowing.
We performed corrective surgery through a midline supra-umbilicaI incision. As opened the
peritoneum, transverse colon was gushed out, which suspected as herniated intestinaI Iòop.
After well mobilization of visible boweI, hernia sac was notified from the anterior portion
of right crus of diaphragm. The hernia was reduced very easily.
The patient made an uninterrupted recovery and on the 8th post-op. day, he went to home
with symptom-free state.
