Foramen morgagni hernia as a rare cause of obstruction

Foramen Morgagni’s hernia is an infrequently occurring congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Usually asymptomatic or discovered incidentally at early age or in adulthood and less commonly presents as acute intestinal obstruction. Timely diagnosis and intervention reduces morbidity and mortality in complicated cases. Surgical approach varies from transabdominal to transthoracic and laparoscopic to open. We present a rare case of Morgagni hernia in an elderly female with obstruction dealt by transabdominal approach.
