A case of giant hiatal hernia in an elderly patient: When spleen, stomach, duodenum and colon slide into thorax- A rare cause of dyspnea and chest pain

Giant hiatal hernias, generally seen at advanced ages, can rarely cause cardiorespiratory symptoms such as dyspnea and chest pain. Here, we aimed to present a case with a large hiatal hernia that largely protruded to intrathoracic cavity and caused dyspnea, particularly at postprandial period. We report a case of a 74-year-old female who presented with one-month history of progressive shortness of breath and left sided chest pain.
