A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes up into the chest through the sheet of muscle called the diaphragm. This may result from a weakening of the surrounding tissues and may be aggravated by obesity and/or smoking. The esophagus runs through the diaphragm to the stomach.

In a hiatal hernia (also called hiatus or diaphragmatic hernia), a portion of the stomach penetrates (herniates) through a weakness or tear in the hiatus of the diaphragm, the small opening that allows the esophagus to pass from the neck and chest to its connection with the stomach.
Peptic ulcers can also affect the gastric antrum. When this happens, they're often called antral ulcers. These develop along the lining within this portion of the stomach. The most common symptom of an antral ulcer is burning or gnawing abdominal pain that usually occurs right after eating.

The bottom line is that ulcers can be the result of hiatal hernias. In most cases, however, medicine and surgery can restore normal conditions, including reducing, and possibly eliminating, the problem of stomach acid coming back into the esophagus.
Cameron lesions are linear gastric ulcers or erosions on the mucosal folds at the diaphragmatic impression in patients with a large hiatal hernia [5]. They are found on the lesser curve of the stomach at the level of the diaphragmatic hiatus.
Cameron ulcers are a mechanical phenomenon, related to extrinsic compression of the diaphragm on the stomach in patients with large hiatal hernias.
Type 3 (mixed, sliding, and paraesophageal hiatal hernia) is the EGJ and stomach is located above the diaphragm and 2 cm or more of the fundus is located cephalad to the lower esophageal sphincter and esophagus.
There are two main types of hiatal hernias: sliding and paraesophageal (next to the esophagus).
The vast majority of hiatal hernias are called type I, or sliding hiatal hernias. In this type, the stomach intermittently slides up into the chest through a small opening in the diaphragm. Type II, III and IV hiatal hernias are called paraesophageal hernias.

Diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect where there is a hole in the diaphragm (the large muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen). Organs in the abdomen (such as intestines, stomach, and liver) can move through the hole in the diaphragm and upwards into a baby's chest.

Sliding hiatal hernia This is the more common type of hiatal hernia. It occurs when your stomach and esophagus slide into and out of your chest through the hiatus. Sliding hernias tend to be small. They usually don't cause any symptoms, and may not require treatment.
Hernia with both gangrene and obstruction is classified to hernia with gangrene. A congenital or acquired weakness or opening in the diaphragm which allows abdominal contents to protrude into the chest cavity; congenital diaphragmatic hernias are caused when the embryonic diaphragm fails to fuse.
