RESUMO
Esophagic diverticulum抯 are a rare entity. The prevalence in the world population is reported to be less than 1%. They are generally diagnosed incidentally, have a higher peak of prevalence in the fifth decade of life, affecting men and women equally. The most common esophageal diverticula are epiphrenic and the main symptom is usually dysphagia. A case of a 74-year-old female with diagnosis of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum is reported, which is treated with conservative management. The objective of this study was to describe a clinical case of esophageal diverticulum, as well as its etiology, clinical presentation, and therapeutic conduct. The screening of these patients must be focused on what the literature indicates, symptomatic patients with long-term evolution, the treatment will be surgical and with minimally invasive techniques so clinical evolution will be more favorable, reducing possible complications.
