Q. Which of the following best describes Sliding hiatus hernia ?
a. Oesophago-gastric junction (OG junction) sliding just above the diaphragmatic hiatus
b. OG junction sliding 1cm above the diaphragmatic hiatus
c. OG junction sliding 2cm above the diaphragmatic hiatus
d. OG junction sliding > 2cm above the diaphragmatic hiatus
ANSWER:
Answer : D - OG junction sliding > 2cm above the diaphragmatic hiatus
Normally OG junction can be visualized on a barium swallow 2 cm above or below the diaphragmatic hiatus. When there is tear of oesophago-phrenic ligament, then the OG junction may slide > 2cm above which is then termed sliding hernia.

Q. A 40 year-old female patient presented with dysphagia to both liquids and solids and regurgitation for 3 months. The dysphagia was non-progressive. What is the most likely diagnosis?
a) Caricnoma of the esophagus
b) Lower oesophageal mucosal ring
c) Achalasia cardia
d) Reflux esophagitis with esophageal stricture
ANSWER:
Answer here is B.... Not C... In Achlasia, dysphagia is Progressive (read One Liner - 52)
Also this could be a wrong recall and the option might be Lower oesophageal MUSCULAR ring -- if so then this can be the clear answer to the question -- ref : http://rajgoyal.com/Publications/2000-03.pdf
A Schatzki’s ring can be differentiated from the muscular ring based on several findings. Firstly , Although both types of rings present with intermittent chronic dysphagia, the history of liquid dysphagia seen in our three patients is distinctly unusual with a Schatzki’s ring. Secondly, the radiological picture in both disorders is of a concentric narrowing in the distal esophagus. However, the muscular ring has a greater, donut-like rather than washer-like thickness, and is characteristically situated a few centimeters proximal to the location of the Schatzki’s ring at the squamocolumnar junction. Thirdly, the manometric findings of high-amplitude contractions of the esophageal body distinguish the muscular ring from the Schatzki’s ring, in which motility studies are typically normal (10, 11).
And fourth, the majority of patients with Schatzki’s rings derive immediate and long-lasting relief from esophageal dilation (12), whereas the patients with symptomatic muscular rings had incomplete, short-lasting symptom relief after dilation.
Q.multiple lesions in liver,diarrhea and flushing seen in a patient. what is the most probable part where the lesion is located?
a.duodenum
b.stomach
c.appendix
d.small bowel
ANSWER:
