A 78-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with obstructive shock caused by a large hiatal hernia that occupied the posterior mediastinum. Tension gastro-duodenothorax was detected in his stomach and duodenum, and we performed urgent endoscopy to relieve shock. Large hiatal hernia occasionally leads to cardiac failure. This is the first reported use of urgent endoscopy to treat a large hiatal hernia.
