AB  - We present the case of a 76-y-old man with mixed (type III) paraesophageal hernia confirmed by endoscopy and CT of the chest who underwent a radionuclide gastric-emptying study that showed accumulation of the radiotracer in the herniated stomach and esophagus in the thorax and accelerated gastric emptying. A scintigraphic gastric-emptying study may be an option for noninvasively demonstrating gastroesophageal accumulation of tracer in patients with hiatal hernia.
