Zenker's Diverticulum Pictures
by Christopher Chang, MD • Last Modified 7/9/2007
These images were obtained from a study called a barium swallow (or esophagram). This is the only study needed to work-up a patient suspected of having a Zenker's Diverticulum.
Front View with Barium: One can easily appreciate the Zenker's Diverticulum pouch with fluid halfway filling the pouch. The patient's chin is seen at the top. |
Side View with Barium: A side view showing the Zenker's Diverticulum. |
Front View without Barium: This is what a Zenker's Diverticulum looks like without any barium. One can see a faint outline of the pouch. |
Front View with Barium: An example of a bi-lobed Zenker's Diverticulum. |
Front View with Barium: An example of a laterally displaced Zenker's Diverticulum variant called Killian-Jamieson's Diverticulum. |
