DiscussionThe Morgagni-Larrey hernia constitutes 3% of all diaphragmatic hernias that necessitate surgical repair. 1 The triangular retrosternal foramen of Morgagni is formed by muscle fibers originating from the sternum and costal margin as they join the central tendon of the diaphragm. 1 Incomplete congenital muscle fiber development predisposes patients to intrathoracic abdominal visceral herniation, with 91% of Morgagni hernias occurring on the right. 2 Intrathoracic compressive symptoms are the predominant subjective complaint, with pulmonary limitations noted in 36% of patients. 2 Our patient’s presentation represents the potentially fatal cardiopulmonary compromise that can be imposed on patients with significant visceral herniation and intrathoracic compression.
