Abstract
We report on a child with congenital bilateral cervical lung herniatio
n with associated retrosternal (Morgagni), posterolateral (Bochdalek),
esophageal hiatal, and inguinal herniae, and with multiple urinary bl
adder diverticuli. These multiple herniations may be secondary to a de
fect in the embryonic celomic mesoderm. (C) 1995 Wiley-liss, Inc.
