Paraesophageal hernia in the neonatal period - another differential diagnosis of esophageal atresia.
Two neonates with paraesophageal herniae, both associated with gastric volvulus are reported. The presenting symptoms in both cases were highly suggestive of esophageal atresia. Radiologic examinations enabled the correct diagnosis to be made, and appropriate surgery was then instituted.
