Abstract :
Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) usually present in the neonatal period with respiratory distress. Delayed presentation of CDH in adults is rare and difficult to diagnose. We present a 61–year–old female patient who came with complaints of epigastric pain and retrosternal pain. X–ray and CT scan of the chest revealed a right–sided Morgagni hernia. The contents of the hernia were reduced and a primary tension free repair of the hernia defect was done through laparscopy. The postoperative course was uneventful. A strong clinical suspicion and good interpretation of radiological images help diagnose CDH which present late. Laparoscopic repair is the treatment of choice at present. Primary repair is usually successful; however, mesh repair may be required for larger defects
