Large Epiphrenic Diverticulum of Esophagus

Esophageal diverticula are rare pathologies and are commonly classified according to their location as pharyngo-esophageal, midthoracic or epiphrenic diverticula [1]. Epiphrenic diverticulum, or diverticulum of distal esophagus, usually occurs in the distal 10 cm of the esophagus. The patients with epiphrenic diverticulum present with clinical symptoms and signs mimicking those associated with other distal esophageal motility disorders, including hiatal hernia, achalasia and reflux esophagitis [2]. We report a case of epiphrenic diverticulum of esophagus in a 70 year old male.
