摘要
Hiatal hernia is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abnormal displacement of a portion of the stomach into the thoracic cavity. It has multiple stages ranging from type I-IV according to severity. The more severe the hernia, the more likely it will produce symptoms, and it would be unlikely for it to be asymptomatic. In this case report, we describe a rare situation in which a 79-year-old woman's type IV hiatal hernia was incidentally found after she suffered a mechanical fall.
