N2  - Incarceration with or without strangulation of a hiatus hernia is a serious complication occuring more frequently in the paraesophageal type than in the sliding variety.

It is not uncommon to find in a large paraesophageal hiatus hernia that there is a portion of the colon, as well as stomach, in the hernial sac.
