An Unexpected Finding During Oesophago-Gastro-Duodenoscopy in a Patient Presenting With Food Bolus Obstruction

Oesophageal intraluminal pseudodiverticulosis is a rare benign condition of the oesophageal wall, with not many cases reported in the literature. Usually, patients present with dysphagia and food impaction in association with a proximal oesophageal stricture. Pathogenesis of the disease is not yet established; hence, it remains important to raise awareness about this distinctive pathology. Here, we present a case of a 62-year-old male admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Scotland, UK, with a history of food bolus. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed food bolus impaction with underlying oesophageal pseudodiverticulosis in the distal two-thirds of the oesophagus.
