Giant hiatal hernia with intrathoracic spleen: A case report

Hiatal hernia is a frequent pathology in the population; however, the most frequent hiatal hernia is type I, which accounts for up to 95% incidence, types II, III, and IV being less frequent and representing between 5% and 15%, and even less common are giant hernias. The definition of the giant hern...

description Hiatal hernia is a frequent pathology in the population; however, the most frequent hiatal hernia is type I, which accounts for up to 95% incidence, types II, III, and IV being less frequent and representing between 5% and 15%, and even less common are giant hernias. The definition of the giant hernia is still not exact in the literature; some authors define giant or massive hiatal hernia as one in which the hernia occupies more than 30% of the stomach and/or passes from other abdominal structures to the thorax. We describe the case of a patient with gastrointestinal symptomology without response to a proton pump inhibitor, with base exacerbation that required imaging studies, showing a large hernia defect passing to the thorax from abdominal organs (stomach, spleen, mesenteric fat), as well as alteration of the gastric and spleen axis with ascent in pancreatic body and tail, which corresponds to a giant hiatal hernia. Said pathology is very infrequent, with recurrences and postoperative complications. Our patient recovered from the surgical procedure with therapeutic success.
