Hiatal hernia
Sliding hernia (axial type): 95%
- GEJ is aboe the diaphragm
- Reflux is more likely with larger hernias
- May be reducible in erect position
Paraesophageal hernia
- GEJ is in its normal position
- Part of the fundus is herniated above the diaphragm through esophageal hiatus and lies to the side of the esophagus
- Not reflux
- More prone to mechanical complications
- Usually nonreducible
*Gastric folds aboe diaphragm
*B line above diaphragm
*Schatzki's ring above diaphragm

%Duodenal ulcers

Pouch of Douglas - The most caudal and posterior part of the peritoneal cavity
Upper 4th sarcal segment
Fixation of the peritoneum to Denonvillier's fascia
b. The right lower quadrant at the termination of the small bowel mesentery
c. The superior aspect of the sigmoid mesocolon

Gastric Volvulus
Gastric volvulus
- Mesenteroaxial type: from lesser to greater curve
- Organoaxial type: from cardia to pylorus
Cause
- Diaphragmatic defect
- Intestinal malrotation
- Wandering spleen
-Absence of gastrophrenic ligament and gastrosplenic ligament
Resolve spontaneously sometimes.

Bone Island
A bone island, also known as an enostosis, is a focus of compact bone located in cancellous bone. This is a benign entity that is usually found incidentally on imaging studies; however, the bone island may mimic a more sinister process, such as an osteoblastic metastasis.
In CT: a round nodule without extension outside the cancellous bone and does not cause bony destruction
