Abstract

Chest pain presents a diagnostic challenge with a long list of differential diagnosis. Chest pain due to gastrointestinal causes includes esophagitis, GERD, gastritis, esophageal spasms and rarely pancreatitis, cholecystitis and peptic ulcer disease. Here we present an uncommon cause of chest pain: hiatal hernia (HH). HH can be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. This case report reviews the different types of HH with symptoms and signs, diagnosis and therapeutic options.
