Morgagni hernia is a disease in which the abdominal contents herniate into the thoracic cavity through a congenital parasternal defect of the diaphragm resulting from an increased intra-abdominal pressure. Obesity, pregnancy, and a history of trauma are considered predisposing factors of Morgagni hernia. However, there is slight evidence that trauma has been the factor. Moreover, Morgagni hernia related to an operation has been rarely reported. We report a case of a female patient, whose mediastinal tumor had been removed 6 months prior to her being diagnosed with postoperative Morgagni hernia. There was a satisfactory result after the repair by an upper abdominal incision.
Morgagni疝是一种由于腹内压升高，腹腔内容物通过先天性胸骨旁膈肌缺损疝入胸腔的疾病。肥胖、妊娠和外伤史被认为是Morgagni疝的诱发因素。然而，仅有少量证据表明外伤是其诱发因素。此外，与手术相关的Morgagni疝鲜有报道。我们报告一例女性患者，其在被诊断为术后Morgagni疝前6个月已切除纵隔肿瘤。经上腹部切口修补后效果良好。
