Abstract

Morgagni hernia is a rare diaphragmatic hernia usually due to congenital defects in the diaphragm. It is rarely associated with cardiac anomalies, most commonly atrial (ostium secundum) or ventricular septal defects. We report a rare case of Morgagni hernia occurring in association with partial atrio-ventricular septal defect (ostium primum), and its successful surgical correction.
