Morgagni hernia is a rare cause of diaphragmatic hernia especially in adults, usually presenting in children. These hernia are usually diagnosed incidentally on routine investigations or due to the obstruction of the herniating viscera or may present with the features of lung compression. Hernia sac usually contains omentum, transverse colon, liver and rarely stomach. Here in this case report, we are going to present a case report of a 70 yr old female presenting with Gastric Outlet Obstruction due to the herniation of stomach into the thoracic cavity through the diaphragm along with the necessary review of literature.
