Özet
Morgagni hernia (MH) is a congenital herniation of the abdominal organs through the subcostosternal portion of the diaphragm. It is a rare type of diaphragmatic hernia that has been associated with other congenital anomalies. The purpose of this clinical review was to determine the incidence of associated anomalies in patients with MH at a major pediatric referral center. The medical records of all patients with the diagnosis of MH were reviewed retrospectively between 1983 and 2006. The age, sex, side of herniation, presenting symptoms and signs, associated anomalies, radiologic features, intraoperative findings, postoperative course, complications, and mortality were recorded. There were 11 males and 5 females. The average age of the patients was 34.5 months (range 2 months-14 years). Twelve patients (75%) had at least one associated congenital malformation and eight (66.6%) of them had multiple anomalies. Six (37.5%) patients had a chromosomal anomaly, Down's syndrome in five and Turner syndrome in one. MH has a high incidence of associated congenital malformations.
