Popis: This report describes the delayed presentation of right-side Morgagni hernia in a 15-year-old girl with Turner syndrome. It is commonly associated with a number of systemic malformations and abnormalities. Morgagni hernia is a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which may not be symptomatic until adulthood when the patient presents with acute symptoms or incarceration. As this result, patients with Turner syndrome should be investigated for Morgagni hernia because there may be an association between the two, and Morgagni hernia may be asymptomatic.
