Occurrence of Hernia of Morgagni with Filial Cervical Lung Hernia: A Hereditary Defect of the Cervical Mesenchyme?

A cervical hernia of the lung of probable congenital etiology is reported in the daughter of a woman with a diaphragmatic hernia of Morgagni. Both of these hernias result from defects in tissues derived from the cervical mesenchyme. The coexistence of these unusual hernias in mother and daughter raises the possibility of a hereditary deficiency of the cervical mesenchyme as an etiologic factor in both of these hernias.
