Abstract:
Ephiphrenic esophageal diverticulum is rare and usually is a pulsion-type pseudodiverticulum that occurs in association with motility disorders of the esophagus. We report a 35-year-old man with tubercular lymphadenitis causing true traction type of epiphrenic diverticulum. Esophageal diverticulectomy and esophagomyotomy was done; he is doing well on antitubercular drugs.
