Esophageal hiatal hernias have been reported to affect anywhere from 10 to 50% of the population. Hiatal hernias are characterized by a protrusion of the stomach into the thoracic cavity through a widening of the right crus of the diaphragm. There are four types of esophageal hiatal hernias: sliding (type I), paraesophageal (type II), and combined ...

A giant hiatal hernia (HH) is a hernia that includes at least 30% of the stomach in the chest, although a uniform definition does not exist; most commonly, a giant HH is a type III hernia with a sliding and paraesophageal component. The etiology of giant HH is not entirely clear, and two potential mechanisms exist: (1) gastroesophageal reflux disease ...

To the Editor.— Hubert and Toyama1 reported a 2-month-old infant and his mother with hiatal hernia at the age of 2 months and suggested that the condition is transmitted by an autosomal dominant gene. Unlike congenital diaphragmatic hernia, most reviews fail to mention the familial occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux or ...
