During the first few months, most of patients have significant symptoms and gradually have been improved except some cases. Although the underlying pathophysiology is uncatain, too tense fundoplication could result in an one-way valve peventing most patients from belching or vomiting. This syndrome has been reported in western country for many years but not yet in Korea. We report a case of gas-bloat syndrome after fundoplication for sevete reflux esophagitis and hiatal hemia.
