MID ESOPHAGEAL PULSION DIVERTICULUM RESULTING FROM SPONTANEOUS INTRAMURAL ESOPHAGEAL HEMATOMA
Keywords:
esophageal diverticulum, spontaneous intramural esophageal hematomaAbstract
Esophageal diverticula have 2 types which reflect the pathological causes and locations. Traction diverticulum is resulted from chronic granulomatous adhesion and usually at mid esophagus. Pulsion type is associated with motility disorder and located in the lower esophagus. We describe a large mid esophageal pulsion diverticulum re- sulting from an intramural esophageal hematoma. Barium swallow reveals normal esophagogastric junction and no motility disorder. We consider intramural hematoma is another associated condition of pulsion diverticulum.
