Abstract
The aim of this work was to clarify the CT aspects of an asymptomatic Morgagni hernia discovered incidentally on a Thoraco-Abdomino-Pelvic scanner. Patient: We report the case of a 55-year-old woman who came for assessment of the extension of a tumor of the rectum in whom a thoraco-abdomino-pelvic scan was performed which fortuitously revealed the right Morgagni hernia. No treatment was offered. Radiographic control of Morgagni's hernia after 6 months of the CT scan showed lesional stability. Conclusion: Morgagni's hernia is a rare entity, most often discovered by accident. However, this hernia is often asymptomatic and does not require treatment. The positive diagnosis is fortuitously evoked on a CT scan after another assessment and monitoring can be done on a standard radiography in order to limit the X-ray irradiation.
