ABSTRACT
Lower esophageal diverticula are frequently related to esophageal motor disorders. An epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum can also have a mechanical cause, such as an esophageal web, benign stricture, or leiomyoma. For a good therapeutic outcome, symptomatic patients with an esophageal diverticulum require a tailored approach. Therefore, it is important to evaluate motor disorders and other associated diseases in a patient with an esophageal diverticulum before devising a therapeutic strategy. We report a case of subphrenic diverticulum associated with an esophageal leiomyoma and motility disorder in a 58-year-old man who had suffered from intermittent regurgitation of food and epigastric soreness.
