    AbstractA 61-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with features of subacute bowel obstruction. Contrast enema and computed tomography (CT) scanning showed evidence of a diaphragmatic hernia. The patient underwent thoraco-laparotomy which revealed a sliding hiatal hernia with transverse colon in the hernial sac. Repair of the defect and segmental resection of the colon were performed, with good postoperative recovery.
