Introduction: A diaphragmatic hernia is a condition characterized by herniation of the abdominal content(s) via a defect in the diaphragm. It may be congenital or may be preceded by a history of trauma. Case Series: Here we report two cases whose diaphragmatic hernias were detected on evaluation of a difficult gastroscopy. Both cases were those of young males who presented with non-specific gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms which warranted further evaluation with upper GI endoscopy and imaging. The first patient had a history of abdominal trauma during a road traffic accident. When scope negotiation proved to be difficult, they were both investigated and found to have displacement of the stomach within the mediastinum. Surgery was done followed by uneventful recovery in both patients. Conclusion: Diaphragmatic hernias do not always present in the background of typical settings and may be asymptomatic in many cases. However when any undue resistance is faced during endoscope negotiation, a high degree of clinical suspicion should be kept for any anatomical aberration—either congenital or acquired. This may ensure early detection and prevent life-threatening acute conditions as an acute gastric volvulus.

“…Hiatal hernia is characterized by the loss of the stomach's distal oesophagus and its placement in the abdomen, as well as the sliding of part or all of these organs through the oesophageal hiatus into the chest . Hiatal hernia is a common condition that is frequently linked to gastroesophageal reflux illness [1,7]. Cough, heartburn, dyspepsia, dysphagia, and weight loss are the most common symptoms in middleaged women.…”

A hiatus hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach protrudes into the chest cavity. It enters through the same entrance through which the food tube (oesophagus) travels to the stomach. A case of an 39-year-old male with a history of diabetic presented to the emergency room with acute onset shortness of breath, epigastric pain and chest pain. The stomach bulges up into the chest through that opening in a hiatal hernia (also known as a hiatus hernia). The client was having burning sensation in epigastric region since from 2-5 year, acid reflux after taking food, heartburn, nausea, regurgitation, vomiting, and abdominal pain and irritation. After the physical examination, history collection and investigations he was diagnosed as case of hiatus hernia.The study's main focus is on professional management and excellent nursing care, which may be able to give the holistic care that hiatus hernia requires while also efficiently treating the difficult case. Following a complete recovery, the patient's multidisciplinary health care team works together to help the patient reclaim his or her prior level of independence and contentment.

“…Below this opening, the abdominal part of the esophagus is about one inch in length and communicates with the stomach at its cardiac end. 8 The muscular arrangement of crura around the EH is classified into 11 types. The most frequent type is the Type I wherein, muscle fibers forming the right margin of EH is contributed by the right crus of the diaphragm which arises from the ventral aspect of L2 to L4 spine, running ventrally upward, to get inserted into the central tendon.…”

One of the probable sites of herniation of the stomach into the thorax is the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm. Lower esophageal sphincter mechanism is regarded as the major constituent guarding the aperture. Advancing age has its brunt on the diaphragmatic musculature, associated ligaments and the spine thereupon incapacitating the foramen producing upward pull of gastro-esophageal junction. Most of the anomalies were related to elderly women whose prevalence was reported incidentally. Despite the compression of the lung and heart in the mediastinum, the quality of life was not hampered and in most of the cases, kyphoscoliosis plays a paramount role in fostering the widening of the opening. PRISMA guidelines were followed for critical appraisal of the systematic review. Pubmed, Mendeley, Google Scholar, Google, Cochrane, ProQuest and Sci-Hub were the databases used to collect the literature review regarding anatomy of gastro-esophageal junction and its associated structures and hiatus hernia. This study documents various cadaveric reports of the thoracic stomach and details the anatomical features of the esophago-gastric intersection.

Hiatal hernia

Abstract: The lung-diaphragm interface is a poor indicator ofthe level of the esophageal hiatus; widespread use of this marker results in a high false positive rate in the diagnosis ofhiatus hernia.
