Abstract

Hiatal hernias are usually sporadic and uncommon, requiring a high index of suspicion. Preterm monochorionic-monoamniotic twins with recurrent emesis had inconclusive radiographs with contrast study consistent with hiatal hernia. Genetic testing was performed due to concerns for familial inheritance. Early diagnosis and treatment of hiatal hernias are essential to prevent complications.
