Right intrathoracic stomach secondary to congenital hiatal hernia and organoaxial torsion.

Congenital hiatal hernia with herniation of stomach into thorax is not uncommon in children but this herniation is usually seen in midline or on left side. However, right sided intrathoracic stomach with its organoaxial torsion secondary to congenital hiatal hernia is a rare occurrence. Barium meal examination is essential for its diagnosis but plain x-ray of the abdomen can arouse the suspicion of this condition. Surgical correction is the key in management of this anomaly. We are reporting two cases of congenital hiatal hernia with right sided intrathoracic stomach along with organoaxial torsion in paediatric age group who were managed successfully.
