Coexistence of Morgagni and Bochdalek hernias in an asymptomatic adult

A 35-year-old woman presented with malaise and anorexia. Axial computed thoracic tomography image through the mediastinal window showed omental tissue (asterisk) due to Morgagni hernia in the anterior part of the right hemidiaphragm (Fig. 1) and herniation of the omental structure into the thorax (arrow) due to Bochdalek hernia in the left posterolateral region (Fig. 2). The patient underwent laparoscopic repair of the Morgagni hernia and is being followed up for the Bochdalek hernia.
