Description

Morgangni's hernia represents around 3% of all diaphragmatic hernias. If the hernia content is the intestine, the preoperative correct diagnosis can be made in a high frequency. On the contrary, the correct diagnosing rate of Morgagni's hernia with only the omentum is as low as 20%. Recently we experienced a case of Morgagni's hernia containing the omentum alone, which was first diagnosed as the disease after operation under a preoperative diagnosis of lipoma of the anterior mediastinum. In this case we failed to make correct diagnosis preoperatively, however, CT appeares especially valuable in preoprative diagnosis.
