Abstract
During a study period from July, 1971 through March 1973, a review of 285 roentgenologic examinations of the esophagus and upper gastrointestinal tract showed a hiatal hernia and/or abnormal gastroesophageal reflux in 83 infants and children. The technique of demonstrating hiatal hernia and/or abnormal reflux in the pediatric patient is described and the criteria used in diagnosis are illustrated, analyzed, and correlated with the clinical symptomatology.Keywords
