ABSTRACT
A woman in her 60s presented to the emergency department with excruciating, deep left shoulder pain and was found to have a right-sided Morgagni hernia, a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). She did not have chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, cough, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting or other symptoms classically associated with CDHs in adults. Laparoscopic robotic-assisted repair with mesh placement was performed, and the patient's recovery was uncomplicated, with no recurrence of shoulder pain. Our patient's presentation was unusual due to the absence of symptoms typically seen with CDHs in adults, and the presence of contralateral, left-sided shoulder pain with a right-sided Morgagni hernia.
