Clinical presentation and therapy for Epiphrenic diverticulum - Case report

Epiphrenic diverticulum is a rare pathology characterized by anomalous protrusions in the esophagus resulting from an increase in intraluminal pressure which leads to herniation of the mucosal and submucosal layers.Although the clinical picture is insidious, patients can manifest symptoms such as dysphagia and chest pain.We therefore present a literature review and a case report of a symptomatic patient whose case was resolved by surgery.
