Konjenital diyafragma hernilerinin % 1-6'sını oluşturan Morgagni hernisi, anteriyor, parasternal veya retrosternal diyafragma hernisi olarak da bilinir. Çocuklarda dispne, öksürük, hırıltı atakları veya gastrointestinal bulgularla ortaya çıkabilir ya da erişkin yaşlara kadar asemptomatik kalabilir. Burada öksürük şikayeti ile hastaneye başvurmuş, tek taraflı solunum sesleri az duyulduğu için çekilen akciğer grafisi ile Morgagni hernisi tanısı almış olan bir olgu sunulmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı; nadir görülse de solunum veya gastrointestinal sistem bulgularıyla başvuran her yaştaki hastada Morgagni hernisinin ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulması gerektiğini vurgulamaktır.
