Killian-Jamieson diverticulum: A rare cause of dysphagia.

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.
