[3 cases of gastric diverticulum]

Out of 3000 radiograms of the upper gastrointestinal tract, followed by an endoscopic examination, performed at the Institute of Clinica Chirurgica of the University of Sassari from 1974 to 1980, the Authors found only three cases of gastric diverticula. This confirms the relative rarity of this disease. On the basis of these three observations, an analysis of some of the clinical and therapeutical aspects of gastric diverticula is then made.
