A Case Report of Pharyngoesophageal (Zenker’s) Diverticulum with Abnormal Throat Sensation

We report a case of abnormal throat sensation confirmed by contrast esophagogram play to be Zenker’s diverticulum. A 50-year-old man reporting strongly abnormal throat sensation was found in contrast esophagogram play to have a diverticulum of the cervical esophagus. He requested surgery to halt the increasingly abnormal sensation. The diverticulum was excised through an external cervical approach under general anesthesia, using an EndoGIA Universal linear stapler cutter and EndoGIA II cartridge. The men reported no abnormal postoperative symptoms.
