The aim of this work was to retrospectively assess clinical and anatomical features of @entity1 with Morgagni congenital diaphragmatic hernias. The study group included 5 @entity1 and 3 @entity1 , aged between 5 months and 13 years, at the time of the diagnosis. Morgagni @entity2914 was diagnosed with non-acute symptoms in 8 @entity1 . A retrosternal defect of the diaphragm was left-sided in 7 subjects and bilateral in 1 @entity1 . A hernial sac was found in 6 @entity1 . In 3 subjects, the hernial sac contained the liver, in 2 subjects the omentum, in 2 subjects the transverse colon and small intestinal loops and in one @entity1 it contained the transverse colon with the omentum. In all cases, the diaphragmatic defect was closed using primary plasty. All subjects healed without complications. A differential diagnosis of congenital Morgagni hernia must be considered in @entity1 with unusual respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms with abnormal x-ray findings on chest examination. A stricture of the congenital Morgagni @entity2914 is rare, and was not recorded in our group.
