    <abstract locale="en_US">An 81-year-old woman with symptoms of upper Gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction but with no supporting evidence for obstruction in previous endoscopies was studied with a solid-liquid gastric emptying scintigraphic examination. There was evidence of accumulation of the tracer in a part of the stomach in the thorax before filling the stomach. The paraesophageal hiatal hernia was suspected. The diagnosis was not confirmed by other modalities and the patient passed away after upper GI bleeding a month later.</abstract>
