    Author: Meredith HC, Seymour EQ, Vujic I.
    Journal: Gastrointest Radiol; 1980 Aug 15; 5(3):229-31. PubMed ID: 7418991.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of gastric ulcer in hiatal hernia is highest in para-esophageal hernia and in chronic incarcerated hernia in older patients. Two patients with chronic incarcerated sliding hernias complicated by unrecognized gastric ulceration and perforation are described. One patient developed a subhepatic and mediastinal abscess; the other developed a gastropleural fistula. The incidence, clinical and roentgen findings, complications, and treatment of gastric ulcers in hiatal hernia are discussed.
