Hiatus is a natural opening in the diaphragm, a muscular wall that separates the chest region and the abdominal region. Through this Hiatal opening the oesophagus (food pipe) and major blood vessels gets inside the abdominal region to join the stomach. If the hiatus opening is larger, then the stomach begins to get into the chest region due to the breach in the hiatus.
