Unlabelled: Oesophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis is an uncommon condition, characterized by multiple small rounded cavities seen in the oesophageal wall during oesophagogastroduodenoscopy. It is often associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, achalasia, oesophageal candidiasis and diabetes mellitus. We report a 40 year old Nigerian man who presented with recurrent dysphagia and endoscopic findings typical of oesophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis. The patient was managed medically with resolution of the dysphagia. This report highlights the occurrence of this rare and benign cause of dysphagia in Nigeria.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium. In contrast, esophageal submucosal tumors are common benign lesions arising from mesenchymal tissues. To date, an entirely intramural growth of ESCC is very rare.

Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder characterized by absent esophageal peristalsis associated with failure of relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Patients with achalasia may present with long-standing and slowly progressive dysphagia to solids and liquids, heartburn, regurgitation, refractory reflux symptoms and noncardiac chest pain. The esophagram and the timed barium swallow are useful imaging studies that may contribute to the diagnosis of achalasia and may be used to determine improvement after treatment.
