Sažetak

Morgagni’s hernia is result of penetration of the abdominal contents into the chest through an anterior retrocostoxiphoid defect in the anterior midline of the diaphragm. It can be manifested with symptoms since birth as a bloated feeling, nausea and belching after meals. We present a patient with symptomatic herniation of the torqued antral part of stomach and loops of the transverse colon. In our case, chest and abdominal radiography after oral intake of contrast are used to diagnose this condition. Herniation was reduced surgically by a transabdominal approach. At the control examination one year after surgery in our patient all symptoms have disappeared, and was given 15 kg of body weight.
