Morgagni hernia (MH) is a result of abdominal organ protrusion through the congenital defect in the anterior retrosternal aspect of the diaphragm. The colon and omentum are the most commonly involved organs, followed by the small intestine, stomach and liver. Symptoms of MH may be absent, although the majority of patients will experience mild dyspnea or abdominal discomfort. We present a case of MH complicated with intrathoracic acute perforated appendicitis and intestinal obstruction.
Morgagni 疝（MH）是由于腹部器官通过横膈膜前胸骨后先天性缺陷突出而导致的。结肠和网膜是最常受累的器官，其次是小肠、胃和肝脏。MH 的症状可能不存在，尽管大多数患者会经历轻度呼吸困难或腹部不适。我们报告一例 MH 合并胸腔内急性穿孔性阑尾炎和肠梗阻。
