In recent years 99mTechnetium methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc MIBI) is widely used in the evaluation of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). In this imaging protocol besides the cardiac evaluation, numerous other organs are included in the field of view. 99mTechnetium MIBI is taken up in all metabolically active tissue in the body except for the brain. Extracardiac uptake patterns as benign or serious conditions can be revealed during the MPI. In the imaging protocol, we should be aware of distribution of this radiotracer in order to recognize the abnormal uptake. Here in, we present a large diaphragmatic hernia, seemed as a mirror vision of myocardium that was determined incidentally during the MPI with 99mTc MIBI.

“…The relationship between a hiatus hernia and duodenogastric (bile) reflux is still unknown and deserves further investigation. Using Tc-99m terfosmin or sesatamibi for cardiac SPECT, an incidentally found retro-cardiac activity, seen in the raw data imaging, due to patients with a large hiatus hernia, has been reported, [5][6][7] because most of the radiopharmaceutial was being extracted from the hepatobiliary system. A large hiatus hernia occurs exclusively in the elderly and it is suggested they are acquired disorders.…”

When a radiopharmaceutial is seen in the intrathoracic cavity on Tc-99m iminodiacetic acid (IDA) cholescintigraphy, basically 2 abnormalities are seen: first the stomach, such as a hiatus hernia, which is abnormally located in the thoracic cavity, and duodenogastric reflux (bile) which is simultaneously seen. However, intrathoracic gastric activity seen on Tc-99m IDA hepatobiliary scintigraphy is rarely documented in a patient with hiatus hernia. This report is of an 83-year-old man with a large hiatus hernia with duodenogastric reflux who underwent hepatobiliary scintigraphy; the scans show an area of increased activity on the top of the liver due to duodenogastric reflux in a large hiatus hernia. This was confirmed by surgery: the patient successfully underwent laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair with Nessen fundoplication and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
