Abstract :

Morgagni hernia is a rare congenital diaphragmatic hernia which are usually asymptomatic. More commonly the defect is present on the right side but here in our case the defect was present on the left side with herniated contents seen crossing over to the right hemithorax which was confirmed radiologically. She underwent hernia repair during which intraoperative presence of loose body (Boiled Egg) was found out. She was discharged following an uneventful procedure and is doing well on follow ups.
