Giant Zenkers Diverticulum Report of a Case and Review of Literature
Abstract
Zenker's diverticulum is an uncommon
cause of dysphagia arising from neuromuscular
incordination of pharyngeal and
upper esophageal musculature. Diverticulum
is a pulsion type false diverticulum.
In this article, we report a case of
giant Zenker's diverticulum we encountered
in our department for whom stapled
diverticulectomy and cricopharyngeal
myotomy was done. Also, we have reviewed
relevant literature and discussed
the same.
