GARCIA RODRIGUEZ, Miguel  and  DUMENIGO ARIAS, Oscar. Hernia hiatal mixta: Reporte de un caso. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2002, vol.41, n.2, pp. 121-124. ISSN 1561-2945.

The case of a female patient at her sixth decade of life with high digestive symptomatology of 4 years of evolution, characterized by epigastralgia, acidity and vomits, is presented. As the patient did not resolve with medical treatment, she underwent a radiological contrast study of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, where a mixed hiatal hernia was diagnosed. She was operated on through the abdomen. Closing of the right pillar of the esophageal hiatus and Nissen I type fundoplication, with which she was definitely cured, were performed. Taking into account the magnitude and uncommonness of this variety of hiatal hernia, we consider it is of interest for medical literature
