| Abstract: | Esophageal diverticula are rarely found at the terminal portion, where they are called supradiaphragmatic or epiphrenic diverticula and occur in association with motility disorders of the terminal esophagus. We present here two cases of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum, one of which was treated surgically. |
