The Zenker’s diverticulum (pharyngeal pouch) is a rare pulsion diverticulum of the mucosa of the pharynx just above the cricopharyngeal muscle. It occurs at the left side and was commonly seen in elderly patients. Maintypical symptoms include dysphagia, regurgitation, chronic cough, aspiration and weight loss. Symptomatic patients with large diverticulum should be treated surgically. Although in recent years successful results with endoscopic therapy has been reported, diverticulectomy and myotomy are still seems to be the best treatment. In this study, a case of 36 years old woman with rightsided Zenker’s diverticulum, clinical presentation, and management are reviewed.
