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.
