J Thorac Imaging 1995;10(2):150-152. CT recognition of traumatic herniation of the stomach: the "sandwich" sign.

Caceres J, Mata JM, Castaner E, Villanueva A

We describe a new sign of traumatic herniation of the stomach. Computed tomography (CT) shows the herniated stomach as two semicircular loops separated by a band of soft-tissue attenuation somewhat resembling a sandwich. This appearance is the axial representation of the herniated stomach.
