| Diagnosis | Hiatal Hernia, Mixed Sliding (Axial) and Paraesophageal | |
| History | Seventy-five-year-old woman with frequent left-sided chest pain, heartburn and dysphagia. | |
| Findings | Chest radiograph demonstrates an air-containing retrocardiac soft-tissue density. Axial computed tomographic images demonstrate that the gastroesophageal junction is located above the diaphragm and that the gastric fundus is lying alongside the distal esophagus. Fluoroscopic and overhead images obtained during an esophagram demonstrate a herniated portion of the gastric fundus protruding upward through the diaphragmatic hiatus next to the gastroesophageal junction. | |
| Differential Dx | Mixed (paraesophageal and sliding) hiatal hernia. | |

| Diagnosis | Gastric Volvulus (OrganoAxial) | |
| History | 78 year old man presents with history of reflux for routine Upper GI study. | |
| Findings | The stomach is rotated about the longitudinal axis and has an "upside down" appearance typical of organo-Axial volvulus. This typically is seen in elderly patients and is due to ligamentous laxity. Compare with mesenteroAxial volvulus. | |

| Diagnosis | Gastric OrganoAxial Rotation with Type 4 Paraesophageal Hernia | |
| History | The patient presented complaining of solid food dysphagia and a prior EGD showing a dilated esophagus. | |
| Findings | The PA and Lateral Chest radiographs show intrathoracic stomach and bowel. The Axial CT image through the chest shows the esophagus, the gastric fundus, and a loop of bowel within the thoracic cavity. These findings are consistent with a Type 4 paraesophageal hernia. A barium esophagram demonstrates a tortuous esophagus that deviates to the left just below the aortic arch. The esophagogastric junction projects to the left of midline with a large paraesophageal hiatal hernia which includes the stomach. The pyloric channel of the stomach projects below the level of the diaphragms. The mucosa of the esophagus and stomach are normal with no evidence of ulceration or neoplastic change. | |
| Differential Dx | There are four types of paraesophageal hernias: Type 1: Sliding hiatal hernia with esophagogastric junction displaced into the thorax. Type 2: Shows fundus or other portions of the stomach herniated into the chest while the esophagogastric junction remains in normal position at the level of the hiatus. Type 3: Compound or mixed hiatal hernia which shows displacement of the esophagogastric junction, gastric fundus, and body into the chest. Type 4: Not universally recognized since some authors consider it to be a variant of type 3 paraesophageal hernias. It is defined as a type 3 paraesophageal hernia with additional herniation of viscera such as the small or large bowel.

| Diagnosis | AtlantoAxial subluxation due to rheumatoid arthritis | |
| History | 64 year old female with rheumatoid arthritis. | |
| Findings | Lateral, flexion and extension views of the cervical spine are obtained. Lateral view shows normal atlantoAxial distance, and normal allignment of the cervical spine. Extension view demonstrates atlantoAxial distance of 5.6 mm. Flexion view shows that the A-A distance has increased to 8.7 mm. | |
| Differential Dx | AtlantoAxial subluxation secondary to: Inflammatory: Rheumatoid arthritis Congenital: Down’s syndrome Trauma: Rupture of transverse ligament | |

| History | Full term infant with an uneventful spontaneous vaginal delivery and normal newborn examination. Father, paternal grandfather and aunt have a history of bilateral supernumerary digits. | |
| Findings | X-Rays of hands significant for bilateral small supernumerary rudimentary digits extending from the fifth proximal interphalangeal joint region medially, with tiny central ossification, attached by a narrow stalk of soft tissue. Soft tissue and osseous structures of the hands are otherwise normal. Histopathology: The biopsy shows connective tissue with scattered eccrine glands, fatty tissue, neural proliferation, and cartilage. | |

| Diagnosis | Atlanto-Axial Subluxation in Rheumatoid Arthritis and erosive changes at the dens. | |
| History | 55 y/o woman with severe rheumatoid arthritis, preoperative evaluation. | |
| Findings | Severe erosion of the base of the dens with some erosion in the superior portions as well. There is asymmetry in the lateral atlanto-dens relations consistent with a mild subluxation. The lateral cervical spine view demonstrates discogenic degenerative changes and loss of the normal cervical lordosis. The atlanto-dens interval is 3mm. Flexion and extension views were not obtained but should be performed prior to completing a pre-operative assessment. A single radiograph of the hands demonstrates many of the stigmata of rheumatoid arthritis: severe erosive changes at the radio-ulnar joints, throughout the carpal bones and at the metacarpal heads and subluxations | |
