Report a Case of Huge Zenker’s Diverticulum with Date Nucleuses Impaction in and with Aspiration Pneumonia - Abstract
A Zenker’s diverticulum is the rarest type of gastrointestinal diverticulum and is located immediately above the upper esophageal sphincter and typically presents in the elderly population with dysphagia regurgitation, halitosis, and malnutrition. Here we report cases of large Zenker’s diverticula with malnourished secondary to dysphagia, regurgitation, hoarseness, or halitosis, profound weight loss, anemia, cough and aspiration pneumonia. She underwent an open resection of the Zenker’s diverticulum and myotomy and discharged with good condition.
