A member asked:
Based in endoscopy, i have hiatal hernia. but ct scan with contrast did not show any hernia. but i have acid reflux. so, do i have hiatal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely, yes.: The endoscopy would be a more informative test in this regard than would be the CT. So if pitting the CT against the endoscopy, I’d give the nod to the latter as far as diagnostic accuracy for a hiatal hernia, especially with the symptoms you have?
