Left-side Morgagni's hernia described in this paper is a quite rare in surgery. Its usually asymptomatic and its almost always discovered accidentally, as a secondary medical findings. That was a case with our patient too. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by chest and abdominal X-rays or barium radiography. To prevent possible complications, surgical treatment is advised in all cases. We used transabdominal approach which was recommended in the literature. Surgical treatment was easy to perform and gave favourable results. There were no postoperative complications and in two years term there were no relapse.
