The Morgagni hernia is a rare congenital disorder that is often associated with other anomalies such as congenital heart disease. We present here a case of Morgagni hernia with concomitant cor triatriatum, both of which were repaired in one operation via a sternotomy approach with satisfactory 6 months follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of its kind reported.
