Abstract:

Epiphrenic diverticula are pulsion/false diverticula caused by outflow resistance at the level of the gastroesophageal junction and esophageal motility disorders. We present a large epiphrenic diverticulum with clinical and pathological features of a true diverticulum in a patient with achalasia, which was misdiagnosed as a hiatal hernia.
