Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Pharyngoceles are defined as diverticula originating from the lateral pharyngeal wall.
  • These congenital or acquired outpouchings are infrequently encountered in clinical practice.
  • Understanding their anatomy and diagnostic modalities is crucial for accurate identification.

Observation:

  • A case of a 71-year-old male incidentally found to have a bilateral pharyngocele is presented.
  • The discovery was made serendipitously, highlighting the often asymptomatic nature of this condition.
  • The rarity of bilateral pharyngoceles underscores the need for thorough diagnostic evaluation.

Findings:

  • The study emphasizes the diagnostic utility of the esophagopharyngeal barium swallow for pharyngoceles.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Bilateral pharyngoceles were identified in the presented case.
  • Two distinct anatomical locations for the pharyngeal herniated sac are described.

    • Implications:

    • This case report contributes to the limited literature on pharyngoceles, particularly bilateral presentations.
    • The findings highlight the importance of considering pharyngoceles in the differential diagnosis of pharyngeal abnormalities.
    • Accurate diagnosis via imaging, such as barium swallow, is essential for appropriate patient management.
