ResumoThree children seen over a one-year period with the rumination syndrome were found to have hiatal herniae. Medical treatment with positional therapy in one child and surgical repair of the herniae in the other 2 was curative. Hiatal herniae may regularly be demonstrated in ruminators. The sequence of events during a typical episode of rumination in a child observed roentgenographically is described.
