Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of a hiatus hernia. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of a hiatus hernia include intra-abdominal esophagus measurement, gastroesophageal junction location, bowel diameter, and gastroesophageal angle.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of hiatus hernia. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of hiatus hernia include:[1][2]
- Location of gastroesophageal junction.
- Bowel diameter measured at the diaphragmatic hiatus.
In children
- Sliding hiatal hernia in infants and young children shows the following signs.[3][4]
- Measurement of intra-abdominal esophagus which is less than 2 cm in diameter.
- Sign of a beak at the gastroesophageal junction.
