ABSTRACT
Diaphragmatic hernia after esophageal resection is a recognized but rare complication. Parahiatal hernias may result from manipulation and extension of the crura during surgery. This can lead to a wide array of symptoms depending on the extent and organ that is herniated. A high index of suspicion is required because there is no one symptom that is specific for herniation. This report represents the first case of a patient presenting with lower gastrointestinal bleed from a parahiatal hernia after esophageal resection.
