Abstract
A case is reported in which spiral CT was most the contributive imagin g technique in the diagnosis of a postoperative intrathoracic gastric herniation. The coronal reformatted spiral CT images demonstrated very well the intrathoracic stomach located above a normally positioned le ft hemi-diaphragm. Compared with conventional CT, the multiplanar reco nstruction capability provided by spiral CT allowed a much better deli neation of the diaphragm in this case.
