Accepted Answer

The condition associated with the base of the esophagus, fundus of the stomach, and diaphragm is hiatal hernia. This occurs when the upper part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm and into the chest cavity. Pyloric stenosis involves the narrowing of the opening between the stomach and small intestine, cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, and portal hypertension is high blood pressure in the portal vein that carries blood from the intestine to the liver.
