Abstract
Transhiatal herniation of the pancreas is an extremely rare condition, with only a few more than ten cases reported. Most patients are symptomatic at initial presentation and multi-detector computed tomography allows a detailed visualization of the anatomy and size of the diaphragmatic defect. Surgical repair is recommended for symptomatic cases.
