Abstract

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is associated with congenital inguinal hernia that can occur due to genetic mutation. Morgagni’s hernia is a rare congenital diaphragmatic herniation and is usually diagnosed in childhood. We present a case of an 18-year-old male presenting with bilateral Morgagni’s hernia with intestinal obstruction with osteogenesis imperfecta with malrotation of the gut.
