RESUMEN
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. Subsequent barium swallow study showed as well a 25 mm left-sided outpouching arising from the anterolateral wall of the proximal cervical esophagus, consistent with a Killian-Jamieson diverticulum. Killian-Jamieson diverticulum is a rare condition with a highly variable clinical presentation, most often reported symptoms being dysphagia, regurgitation and globus sensation.
