Abstract
Hiatal hernia is a condition that abdominal organs or the fundus of stomach or both together are herniated towards to mediasten. The symptoms vary according to the severity of the hernia. Small hiatal hernias may cause no problem, whereas larger hernia may cause some symptoms such as heartburn, belching, regurgitation, dysphagia, chest pain and nausea due to acid reflux. In this study we reported an infant with no symptom although having a large hiatal hernia.
