Resumen
LOPEZ-GULFO, Diana et al. Down syndrome and Morgagni hernia in infant. Rev. mex. pediatr. [online]. 2021, vol.88, n.5, pp.189-191. Epub 08-Ago-2022. ISSN 0035-0052. https://doi.org/10.35366/103898.
Introduction:
Morgagni hernia is a birth defect that occurs in more than 30% of patients with Down syndrome.
Case presentation:
This is a thirteen-month-old female patient, who was admitted with respiratory symptoms, initially suspecting community-acquired pneumonia; however, a later chest X-ray confirmed that it was a Morgagni hernia. Laparoscopic surgery was performed with good postoperative evolution.
Conclusion:
In children with Down syndrome with persistent respiratory symptoms, Morgagni hernia should be suspected, since it is a common congenital malformation in these patients.
Palabras llave : Infant; Down syndrome; Morgagni hernia; congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
