Laparoscopic Resection of a Congenital Gastric Diverticulum that was Found Incidentally on Imaging: A Case Report.

Gastric diverticula are quite rare and can be either acquired or congenital. Resection is recommended when the diverticula are large (>4 cm), PPI therapy does not relieve symptoms, and/or complications arise. We present a case of a patient with a long-standing history of symptoms related to a congenital gastric diverticulum that had been found incidentally on imaging during a workup for possible small bowel obstruction.
