AB  - This case report describes the delayed presentation of bilateral Morgagni's hernia in a 13-month-old girl with Down's Syndrome. The report emphasizes the fact that a previously normal chest x-ray should not preclude the diagnosis of Morgagni's hernia even when bilateral. The various presentations and the association between Morgagni's hernia and Down's Syndrome are also discussed.
