Summary

This study reports the first documented case of true intraluminal esophageal diverticulum (IED), a rare condition presenting as a mucosal pouch within the esophagus. Distinguishing true IED from transient artifacts is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Background:

Intraluminal esophageal diverticulum (IED) is a rare congenital or acquired condition.
It presents as a mucosal pouch within the esophageal lumen.
Radiologically, IED can mimic transient artifacts on barium studies.

Observation:

This article details the first reported case of a true intraluminal esophageal diverticulum.
The case highlights characteristic radiological findings of an intraluminal barium collection with a radiolucent halo.
The distinction between a true IED and a transient flow artifact was a key diagnostic consideration.

Findings:

A true intraluminal esophageal diverticulum was identified and is described.
The radiological appearance of the true IED was consistent with previous descriptions of intraluminal collections.

The case emphasizes the importance of differentiating true IED from artifacts.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis of true IED is essential for appropriate patient management.
Radiologists and gastroenterologists should be aware of this rare entity.
This case contributes to the understanding of esophageal anomalies and their radiological diagnosis.
