Both the gastroesophageal junction and part of the stomach move into the chest
TYPE 3
What type of hiatal hernia?
The entire stomach, or almost all of it, herniates into the chest because of larger defect in the diaphragmatic hiatus.
TYPE 4
Complication of sliding hernia
ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX
Complications of Paraesophagial hernia
STRANGULATION
