Introduction: A large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum can cause troublesome symptoms for patients, including dysphagia and reflux, ultimately, leading to debilitating weight loss.
Case Description/technique Description: We present a case of a 68-year-old female with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus presented with a large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum with dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and associated weight loss. The patient underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic epiphrenic diverticulectomy with esophageal myotomy.

Aim: To report the prevalence of pericardial diverticulum of the right lateral superior aortic recess (RSAR) on computed tomography (CT), to analyse the structural CT findings of whether or not the structure is large enough to be seen on chest radiographs, and to describe changes in size and shape of RSAR on follow-up CT.
Materials And Methods: A well-circumscribed, fluid-attenuation lesion in the anterior mediastinum with the following CT features was defined as a pericardial diverticulum of the RSAR: no enhancing wall, communication with the RSAR, abutment to the heart with an acute angle, and moulding by adjacent structures. Chest CT images of 31 patients with the diverticulum were evaluated, including four selected from 1,130 consecutive patients (0.
