Morgagni hernias (MHs), in particular, may remain asymptomatic for years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 24-year-old female from a rural area presented with a 3-year history of intermittent dull aching epigastric and left hypochondrial pain. Chest X-ray suggested a left-sided diaphragmatic hernia, confirmed on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) as herniation of the transverse colon into the thoracic cavity, consistent with a left-sided MH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Management:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The patient was referred for elective surgical repair.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adult diaphragmatic hernias can present with chronic, non-specific gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms, often leading to misdiagnosis.
