  • Title: Intra-thoracic appendicitis in a child with Down's syndrome.
    Author: Parsons C, Naqvi S, Wheeler R.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2013 Jun; 48(6):E29-31. PubMed ID: 23845654.
    Abstract:
    Morgagni congenital diaphragmatic hernias are rare. They are associated with chromosomal anomalies, especially Down's syndrome. Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in childhood, but accurate diagnosis can be a challenge if encountered out of the usual anatomical position. This is the first case report of acute appendicitis within a Morgagni hernia in a child with Down's syndrome.
