ABSTRACT

Introduction: Morgagni hernia is a birth defect that occurs in more than 30% of patients with Down syndrome. Case presentation: This is a thirteen-month-old female patient, who was admitted with respiratory symptoms, initially suspecting community-acquired pneumonia; however, a later chest X-ray confirmed that it was a Morgagni hernia. Laparoscopic surgery was performed with good postoperative evolution. Conclusion: In children with Down syndrome with persistent respiratory symptoms, Morgagni hernia should be suspected, since it is a common congenital malformation in these patients.
