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).

Zenker's Diverticulum

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2014
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

Zenker's Diverticulum

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

Digestive Diseases, 1998
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 ...
