CASE-REPORT - MRI APPEARANCES OF LEFT-SIDED MORGAGNI HERNIA CONTAINING LIVER

Morgagni hernias most commonly present in infancy or childhood with ga strointestinal or respiratory symptoms, resulting from visceral hernia tion into the thorax. They are much rarer in the adult, and may be mis diagnosed as pericardial masses. We report a case of a Morgagni hernia containing liver, which hindered cardiac imaging with echocardiograph y and angiography, and was best demonstrated with MRI.
