A Rare Case Of Esophageal Diverticulum With Classical Presentation
Article | IMSEAR | ID: sea-190571
ABSTRACT
Diverticula of the esophagus are rare, accounting for <1% of all barium gastrointestinal radiographs and <5% of all cases of dysphagia. Here, we report a case of an 80-year-old male presented with the chief complaint of dysphagia for 8 months. Contrast studies with barium swallow and computed tomography (CT) scan were performed to diagnose the etiology behind dysphagia, and it turned out to be a case of esophageal diverticulum which demonstrates outpouching from the wall of the esophagus in barium swallow and CT scan. These investigating modalities also aid in eliminating other causes of dysphagia.Key words Barium swallow, Contrast computed tomography, Diverticulum, Dysphagia, Esophagus
