Abstract
A rare congenital diaphragmatic hernia was discovered upon routine dissection of a female cadaver. Given the hernia's location in the chest cavity, it was identified as a Morgagni hernia. As the least common type of diaphragmatic hernia, the exact mechanism of development is unknown. However, this hernia has previously been associated with both longstanding, congenital conditions and acute, health conditions requiring intervention.
