The diagnosis of transdiaphragmatichernia was made, and further examination,continued with the opac[ue meal, gave veryinteresting results. The image of thestomach in the vertical anterior position is The examination in the lateral positionwas even more instructive. It enabled usto localize the perforation in the diaphragmto a certain extent, and to estimate itsdimensions. The level of the opaque liquidwas clearly seen filling the narrow channel,and covering the entire dome of thediaphragm as far back as the shadow ofthe spine. The shell fragment was alsoseen.
