Hiatal hernia: This is a condition in which part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm muscle into the thoracic cavity. You can not see this unless you have xray vision. Many people have this, and the most common type is a sliding form.

No: A Hiatal hernia is posterior, not anterior. Therefore is not a hiatal hernia

No : A hiatal hernia would not be visible externally like that. The good thing about her having the CT scan though, is that it would rule out many potentially pathological conditions in that area.
