A Neonatal Case of Paraesophageal Mixed Hiatal Hernia Detected by “Coiled-Up Sign”
The "coiled-up sign" of the gastric tube at the level of the diaphragm in neonates suspected with upper gastrointestinal obstruction or stenosis should raise suspicion of a paraesophageal mixed hiatal hernia and an upper gastrointestinal contrast study is useful for the diagnosis. Insertion of a feeding tube may allow for elective radical surgery while avoiding life-threatening complications.
