Killian Jamieson diverticulum is a rare diverticulum of the esophagus that out pouches through the Killian Jamieson's dehiscence. They are relatively rare compared to Zenker's diverticula, although both present similarly. However, both needs to be distinguished separately and treated accordingly given their anatomic variations.

Pharyngoesophageal diverticula are a rare anatomical abnormality and are classified in 3 types based on the area of their protrusion: Zenker diverticulum is the most common, followed by Killian-Jamieson diverticulum and the rarest, Laimer diverticulum. We report a case of a 68-year-old man who presented to our clinic with a 3-year history of moderate anemia uncovered after routine blood tests, progressive dysphagia for solids and food bolus impactions resolved spontaneously. Upper endoscopy revealed a wide-mouthed diverticulum, measuring 2-3 cm, with normal mucosa and food residue inside, just below the upper esophageal sphincter, on the left side of the esophageal wall and also hiatal hernia with diffuse mucosal bleeding.

Killian-Jamieson diverticula (KJD) and Zenker's diverticula (more common) share similar pathophysiology but are considered to be different types of phrenoesophageal diverticula. A 55-year-old female presented to the clinic with chronic dysphagia, halitosis, and regurgitation. Imaging modalities confirmed a Killian-Jamieson diverticulum, explaining her symptoms.

Background: Killian-Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is a rare diverticulum arising from a muscular gap in the anterolateral wall of the proximal cervical esophagus. The first choice of treatment for KJD remains controversial due to its rare incidence. Here, we report two cases of KJD for which we performed different surgery: diverticulectomy in one case and diverticulopexy in the other.
