Morgagni Hernia

Morgagni hernias are rare congenital diaphragmatic defects that can lead to bowel obstruction and incarceration if not repaired. Symptoms are often nonspecific and may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, cough, and shortness of breath. Diagnosing Morgagni hernias often requires a combination of clinical evaluation and imaging studies, such as chest x-ray, barium swallow, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Surgery may be performed through either an open incision or minimally invasive techniques through the chest or the abdomen. Most defects are not discovered until later in childhood or adulthood; the long-term prognosis is good, with a low recurrence rate. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners’ competence in evaluating and managing Morgagni hernias. Participants gain a broader grasp of the condition’s pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and best diagnostic and management practices. Greater proficiency prepares learners to collaborate effectively within an interprofessional team when caring for patients with Morgagni hernias, improving outcomes.
