Molano Renzo Pinto Medicina Case Studies (MeSH) Zencker Diverticulum Deglutition Disorders An 81-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of dysphagia which she had suffered for four years. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a Zenker’s diverticulum and extrinsic compression of the esophagus. A thoracic CT scan confirmed the presence of extrinsic compression caused by an aberrant right subclavian artery, which compromised the posterior esophageal wall thus confirming a diagnosis of dysphagia lusoria. An association between Zenker’s diverticulum and dysphagia lusoria is so uncommon that there have been no previously published cases. 2014 artículo científico 2357-3848 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=576363528016 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5763 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista de la Facultad de Medicina (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.62 |
