A 78-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of dysphagia, regurgitation of food and weight loss. Nasal endoscopy and plain chest radiography were unremarkable. However, a single contrast barium swallow demonstrated the classical appearances of a Zenker's diverticulum (also known as pharyngeal pouch) (Figures 1 and 2).

A 67-year-old man with an 8-month history of dysphagia and regurgitation presented to the gastroenterology clinic. A barium swallow examination showed an outpouching esophageal lesion consistent with a Zenker’s diverticulum.

Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is an outpouching of tissue through the Killian triangle that is believed to be caused by dysfunction of the cricopharyngeal muscle. ZD is a relatively uncommon disorder occurring in the elderly. The predominant symptom of ZD is dysphagia, and the most serious consequence is pulmonary aspiration. Videofluoroscopy confirms the

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2013
This article introduces the pathogenesis and relevant anatomy of Zenker diverticulum. The clinical symptoms and relevant investigation are presented along with the various therapeutic interventions including open and endoscopic approaches. Techniques to perform the myotomy and diverticulectomy are expanded on and include traditional suture ligation ...

The Laryngoscope, 1997
AbstractSymptomatic Zenker's diverticula are usually treated with diverticulectomy and myotomy. Other, more conservative open procedures consist of diverticulopexy, imbrication, and myotomy alone. These more conservative procedures do not result in a breach of esophageal mucosa and should have more rapid postoperative recovery.

Zenker’s diverticulum is a pouch protruding posteriorly above the upper esophageal sphincter, in the Killian’s triangle, an area of relative weakness. Zenker’s diverticulum was thought, for many years, to occur as a result of cricopharyngeal incoordination but more recent evidence points to poor upper sphincter compliance with diminished sphincter ...

Familial Zenker's diverticulum
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2008The aetiology of Zenker's diverticulum is likely to be multifactorial. The geographical and racial variation in the prevalence and the rare familial cases suggest that genetic predisposition might have a role in the pathogenesis. The mode of inheritance in the rare possible familial cases seems to be autosomal dominant; recessive inheritance is non ...

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2002
The treatment of patients with a Zenker's diverticulum is endoscopic or surgical. Whichever procedure is chosen, the most important component of the procedure is a thorough cricopharyngeal myotomy. This can be accomplished either externally through a neck incision or internally with an endoscope.

Carcinoma in a Zenker's diverticulum
Head & Neck Surgery, 1979AbstractZenker's diverticulum is a common developmental anomaly seen usually in the elderly. Carcinoma in this pharyngoesophageal outpouching has been reported in only 23 instances. A 55‐year‐old woman is presented whose only symptoms were dysphagia and periodic regurgitation of bloodstained material.
