A hernia of the esophageal aperture of the diaphragm is considered as one of the factors contributing to the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease and requires a complete and comprehensive examination of the patient. Routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy does not give a complete picture of the disease, and therefore patients receive symptomatic treatment for a long time. Paraesophageal hernia of the esophageal aperture of the diaphragm are not well understood yet due to their relatively low frequency of occurrence, may be asymptomatic or manifest as chest pain of noncardiac origin. A patient with a long history of gastroesophageal reflux disease associated with a giant paraesophageal hernia of the esophageal aperture of the diaphragm is presented as a clinical case.
