We present a case of a 68 year old female patient with thoracic pain and double epiphrenic diverticula. The upper gastrointestinal tract examination revealed two epiphrenic diverticula, one with 6-7cm and the other measuring 2cm, located 30cm from the dental arcade. She underwent surgical treatment to remove the larger diverticula, a long esophageal myotomy and a Belsey-Mark IV antireflux technique.
