Abstract

Morgagni hernia (MH) is a type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia that is rare and without any distinctive presentation. Chest radiographs can miss the diagnosis when solid organs instead of bowel loops are herniated. Echocardiography can perplex the diagnosis instead of aiding if MH is not suspected. We are here discussing the presentation and management of a neonate with MH, which was referred to our institute as a congenital heart disease.
