Sliding Hiatal Hernia The oesophagus (slides) through Hiatus. Usually present with reflux manifestations. May be complicated by peptic ulcers and stricture oesophagus. Commonly associated with Barrett’s oesophagus (columnar epithelium lining the oesophagus) Which predispose to malignancy.

Paraesophygeal hernia Part of the stomach passes to thorax through a defect at the

Paraesophygeal hernia Part of the stomach passes to thorax through a defect at the Phrenoesophygeal membane alongside the oesophagus. However the Gatroesophygeal(GE) junction remains at peritoneal cavity. Reflux manifestations are rare but may incarcerate and there is high risk of gastric volvulus.

Combined hernia This is a rare type in which the lower esophagus and part

Combined hernia This is a rare type in which the lower esophagus and part of the stomach moves together to the chest which interferes with the action of GE junction. The manifestations are a mixture of reflux manifestations, peptic ulcer, may be Barrett’s esophagus with its complications.

DIAGNOSIS Abdominal ultrasound; can diagnose some cases. Chest X ray may need insertion of nasogastric tube(reveales stomach). Barium studies may need Trendlenburg position. CT & MRI Chest are very valuable. Upper GIT endoscopy is very helpful. Esophageal manometry may be needed.
