The Morgagni hernia (MH) accounts for 3-4% of congenital diaphragmatic hernias. There is a paucity of data regarding this rare defect. The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics of children with MH, surgical approaches for repair, and patient outcomes. ⋯ In this series, congenital MH appears to have a male predominance, frequently presents with pulmonary symptoms, and has excellent outcomes regardless of operative approach.
