Imaging findings
Elevated diaphragm with colon loops seen anteriorly on chest radiograph. CT coronal views clearly showed vessels coming up through a defect and a large segment of colon. Intraoperative images confirmed a large defect with fat and bowel coming through it.
Key takeaways
This was a classic example of a Morgagni hernia, an anterior diaphragmatic hernia. The intraoperative images provided excellent correlation for teaching purposes, showing the defect and herniated contents directly.
