Article Synopsis
- Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is a rare problem that can make it hard to swallow and can lead to dangerous complications like choking.
- A 93-year-old woman with a 6 cm ZD lost a lot of weight due to her swallowing issues and got sick with aspiration pneumonia, which needed a special feeding tube.
- Doctors found a dental prosthesis stuck in her diverticulum, removed it, and then performed a successful procedure to treat the ZD, allowing her to eat normally again after a short hospital stay.
