Abstract
The paraesophageal hernia is a very common condition. Complications, including hemorrhage, ischemia, and gastric perforation are rare and usually occur in large hernias. We report the case of a 82 year old woman diagnosed with complicated paraesophageal hernia after going to the emergency department of our hospital because of chest pain.
