We have incidentally observed a finding not yet described in the literature, on both cross-sectional imaging and fluoroscopy, to correlate with increased obstructive symptoms in our post sleeve gastrectomy patients. This case series aims to show postsurgical imaging cases with the common underlying finding of a pseudotumor associated with hiatal herniae and obstructive symptoms. Because this clinical presentation may, in some cases, warrant postsurgical revision, knowledge of the imaging findings and their potential clinical significance is useful to radiologists who interpret routine cross-sectional imaging examinations as well as fluoroscopic evaluations of these post sleeve gastrectomy patients.

Hiatal Hernia (HH) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have been found to be associated with respiratory conditions, such as pulmonary fibrosis. However, their association with asthma remains ambiguous. Thus, the present cross-sectional, retrospective, monocentric study aimed to investigate the prevalence of asthma among patients with HH, evaluate its severity in these patients, and screen for associated respiratory symptoms.

Hiatal hernia (HH) is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by the displacement of abdominal contents, particularly the stomach, into the thoracic cavity. This condition is frequently associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and can lead to various symptoms, including chronic cough and respiratory issues. Despite its prevalence, the mechanisms linking psychological factors to HH are not well understood.

Objective: This study investigates the association between the presence of diverticula in the colon and esophagus and the occurrence of hiatal hernia, seeking to understand potential shared pathophysiological underpinnings and risk factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center, including patients aged ≥18 years who underwent both gastroscopy and colonoscopy over 2 years. Exclusion criteria were prior gastrectomy or colectomy, incomplete medical records, and non-consent.
