“…It is thought that this is due to temporary sealing of the rent by omentum or a solid viscus, or to a reducible hernia. Hurley (1953) describes such a case in which the chest radiograph after a car accident was normal, and the patient developed a hernia with gangrene of the stomach eight months later. Similarly, in my case 3, there was a normal radiograph shortly after injury, and the patient developed a strangulated hernia 15 years later.…”

“…The content of a hiatus hernia is most commonly the stomach [ 2 ]. Surgical repair is most commonly indicated in patients with reflux, but also due to risk of obstruction, volvulus, strangulation of contents, and perforation; these have been well known for many decades [ 3 , 4 ]. The most appropriate diagnostic imaging in an emergency presentation is computed tomography (CT), which can identify the content of the hernia, as well as strangulation [ 5 ].…”

Hiatus hernia is defined as a trans-diaphragmatic protrusion of the intra-abdominal contents through the oesophageal hiatus into the mediastinum. Surgical repair is indicated in symptomatic patients, with some patients presenting emergently with strangulation and ischaemia of hernial contents. In this situation, emergent decompression and surgical repair is indicated. Although it has been suggested previously that kyphoscoliosis may contribute to development and progression of hiatus hernia, there are no published reports of obstruction being caused by severe spinal deformity. A 67-year-old male patient with spina bifida and severe scoliosis who presented with an obstructed hiatus hernia is discussed here. Because of his obstruction, laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair and fundoplication was undertaken. The patient had an uncomplicated recovery following this. This case highlights the importance of providing definitive management to patients with difficult anatomy, which has caused their obstruction, as conservative management is unlikely to lead to an optimal outcome.
