Epiphrenic esophageal diverticula (EED) are out-pouching of the esophageal lumen, originating in the distal of the esophagus, typically 4-8 cm above the cardia and usually projecting from the right posterior wall.

Epiphrenic diverticula account for less than 15% of esophageal diverticula and are located within 10 cm of the gastroesophageal junction. They present with repeated aspirations, heartburn, and dysphagia, occurring more frequently on the right side of the esophagus.

2023年7月3日 · Epiphrenic diverticulum, also known as a pulsion diverticulum, is a rare type of esophageal diverticulum occurring in the distal 10 centimeters (CM) of the esophagus most commonly 4cm to 8 cm above the gastric cardia.
