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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Pharyngoesophageal (Zenker’s) Diverticulum
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983The Mayo Clinic surgeons have the largest experience in the world in dealing with pharyngoesophageal diverticulum. This experience has now grown to 888 patients treated between the years 1944 and 1978. In that period, their approach has undergone changes. The reasons behind these changes and their results are discussed.

The Zenker’s diverticulum is an out pouching of the hypopharynx arising between the fibers of the cricopharyngeus inferiorly and the inferior constrictor superiorly. This region of herniation is known as Killian’s triangle. Patients often present with a longstanding history of gradually increasing dysphagia of both solids and liquids.

Archives of Surgery, 1998
The surgical treatment of Zenker diverticulum relieves dysphagia, coughing, and aspiration in nearly all patients. An understanding of the physiological basis for cricopharyngeal myotomy and anatomical detail has contributed to the high success rate. Meticulous technique in this elderly patient group is essential to prevent complications.

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.

There is now strong evidence that acquired Zenker’s diverticulum arises in most cases secondary to a poorly compliant, but normally relaxing, UES which cannot fully distend during the process of sphincter opening. This gives rise to increased hypopharyngeal intrabolus pressure during the phase of trans-sphincteric bolus flow; pressure which is imparted
