Abstract:

We describe a 66-year old woman with a paraesophageal herniation who was readmitted to our department after previous scheduled repair and an uneventful postoperative course. She had soluble contrast examination and no leak was found from the oesophagus nor was recurrent herniation diagnosed. On computed tomography the abscess was confirmed and reoccurrence of hiatal herniation was excluded. She recovered after the left thoracotomy and evacuation of the purulent hematoma. Mediastinal hematoma is a rare complication that may occur after tearing the arteries in the gastroesophageal junction area, especially if the herniation is approached from the abdominal cavity.
