Abstract
We report two case reports of Morgagni hernia repair. Our first case was on 65 year old white male who presented with abdominal pain in right upper quadrant and right side of chest for last 3 days. He was having 3 episodes of dark appearing vomiting associated with pain. He also had two episodes of hematemesis. Patient had gastric outlet obstruction with severe distension of stomach because of incarcerated small bowel and colon in the right sided anterior diaphragmatic Morgagni hernia. Laparoscopic repair of incarcerated Morgagni hernia under general anesthesia was planned. We report our second case on rare simultaneous presentation of Morgagni Hernia with type 3 Para esophageal hernia. 60 years old female patient presented in clinic with a follow up of chest discomfort which was progressively increasing with shortness of breath and a chronic gastric reflux. Her vitals were within normal limits and had body mass index (BMI= 29.52kg/m2) (overweight category). Previous past medical history included multiple episodes of gastric regurgitation and cardiovascular intervention for coronary stenting. CT scan showed type 3 paraesophageal hernia (gastro esophageal junction with fundus of stomach displaced above diaphragm). The patient had more than 30% of her stomach incarcerated in the chest as a paraesophageal hernia. The gastro esophageal junction was intra-abdominal after lysis of adhesion. Mesh was placed after posterior crural repair, followed by Nissen fundoplication over a 54 French bougie patient also had an incidental finding of a reducible Morgagni hernia through an anterior defect, followed by a repair without mesh. Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy showed there was no evidence of any air leak with good valve creation on retroflexion through a fundoplication.
