Congenital Paraesophageal Hernia with Intrathoracic Gastric Volvolus in Two Sisters

Abstract: Congenital paraesophageal hernia is rare in infants and children. This paper describes our experience with seven infants and children with congenital paraesophageal hernia with emphasis on two sisters who presented with unusually large paraesophageal hernias and herniation of most of the stomach resulting in intrathoracic gastric volvolus. The literature on the subject is also reviewed.

We report the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of hiatus hernia with gastric volvulus, which was self-reducing and recurrent in nature.…”

“…Следовательно, грыжа I типа, протекая бессимптомно длительное время, в пожилом возрасте может достигать большого размера и стать источником осложнений. При наличии соответствующих патогенетических факторов (слабость связочного аппарата желудка, разрушенного предшествующими операциями, высокая кислотность желудочного сока, приобретенный короткий пищевод, высокий индекс массы тела, женский пол) желудок может практически полностью перемещаться в заднее средостение в течение короткого времени, формируя скользящую грыжу большого размера [19].…”
