Foramen of Morgagni hernias have traditionally been repaired by either an abdominal or a transthoracic approach. We describe a case in which a Morgagni hernia that presented as a gradually enlarging right anterior pericardiophrenic mass was both diagnosed and repaired using video-assisted thoracic surgery. The procedure went without incident, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. The video-assisted thoracic surgical repair can be a safe and effective way to fix a Morgagni hernia.

Morgagni's hernia is an uncommon type of diaphragmatic hernia fairly exceptional in pediatric age. A case of Morgagni's hernia, observed by chance in a 15-month-old infant, is presented. The authors present the fundamental embryogenic stages of the diaphragm and stress the clinical manifestations and diagnostic procedures to reach the diagnosis, as well as the advantages of early treatment in order to prevent possible complications.
