Hiatus hernia, CT scan
Computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest of a 50 year old patient with chest pain showing a hiatus hernia in the left chest with displacement of the mediastinum to the right. A hiatus hernia is the protrusion of part of the stomach into the thorax through the hole in the diaphragm (hiatus) that the oesophagus normally passes through. Hiatus hernias are extremely common and usually produce no symptoms. In severe cases they may cause gastroesophageal reflux, resulting in heartburn.
