چکیده
THE ANATOMY and physiology of the distal oesophagus is well established and the radiological boundaries of hiatus hernia are well defined so that uncertainty in diagnosis is now unnecessary. Nevertheless, correlation between the radiological evidence of hiatus hernia and the symtomatology is incomplete. Large hernias may exist with minimal or no symptoms; conversely, severe symptoms often accompany minor radiological changes.
