Abstract :
Morgagni's hernia is a rare cause of a diaphragmatic hernia. The defect tends to be small and asymptomatic. When symptomatic, a trans-thoracic or trans-abdominal repair has been carried out. We report asymptomatic case, presenting in an elderly patient, repaired successfully using a laparoscopic approach and discuss various aspects of technique.
