Esophageal pseudodiverticulosis, a rare condition, involves small sac-like structures in the esophageal wall, stemming from dilated excretory ducts of submucosal glands. While uncommon, it can complicate esophagitis, a yeast infection linked to various clinical issues, including pseudodiverticula formation. This unique association underscores the importance of understanding its clinical implications and optimal management. In this case, a 68-year-old female sought medical attention for dysphagia and recurrent food impaction. The diagnostic journey revealed esophageal pseudodiverticulosis and esophagitis, emphasizing the complexity of esophageal disorders.

We present the case of a patient with smoking, alcoholism, cirrhosis and HIV who was endoscopically diagnosed with esophageal candidiasis due to an episode of dysphagia. After treatment with antifungals and PPIs, the patient remained asymptomatic for almost 3 years. He presented an event of food impaction that was resolved by an upper endoscopy in which an esophageal stenosis and multiple esophageal pseudodiverticulosis were visualized.

Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD) is a disease of unknown pathogenesis characterized by usually systemic, cystic dilatation of the excretory ducts of esophageal submucosal glands. In this article, I review the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, endoscopic findings, esophagographic findings, and histopathology of EIPD. I also discuss the etiology and possible pathogenesis of EIPD based on my experiences with this disease and a review of the literature.

Oesophageal intraluminal pseudodiverticulosis is a rare benign condition of the oesophageal wall, with not many cases reported in the literature. Usually, patients present with dysphagia and food impaction in association with a proximal oesophageal stricture. Pathogenesis of the disease is not yet established; hence, it remains important to raise awareness about this distinctive pathology.
