Introduction: the majority of adult diaphragmatic herniation s is due to a chronic hiatal hernia or caused by a diaphragmatic herniation. compared to other different forms of congenital herniation s, morgagni herniation s are relatively rare. here we introduce a case of a 73-year-old woman diagnosed with morgagni herniation and the choice of treatment used for the patient. case report: the patient, a 73-year-old woman, presented with abdominal pain with the onset of 10 days prior to her visit. in the chest x-ray silhouette sign on the right side border of the heart was seen that suggested a morgagni herniation as our primary differential diagnosis. the patient was discharged 3 days after the operation. conclusion: studies show that a morgagni herniation should be a differential diagnosis for any patient that presents with unspecific abdominal pain or respiratory symptoms.
