                            <p>Zenker’s diverticulum is a pulsion typed pharyngoeosophageal diverticle caused by the herniation of the pharyngeal mucosa, standing beside the posterior pharyngeal wall, through the Killian opening which is known as the weak area between the inferior constructor muscle’s oblique fibres and transverse fibres of cricopharyngeal muscle. In patients with Zenker’s Diverticulum, symptoms such as disfagia, globus in the cervical area, weigth loss, regurgitation, cough, and aspiration. These patients are primarily admitted to the Gastroenterology and Othorhinolaryngology clinics with the complaint of disfagia and the diagnosis of this disease is mostly established late and the treatment is started late because the results of their physical examinations seem normal. Therefore, especially in the patients who have disfagia complaint, pharyngoeosophageal diverticle prediagnosis should be thought and that should be examined by passage graphies with barium and endoscopic methods, if needed. In this article, we presented the 67-year-old Zenker’s Diverticulum patient in whom we performed open diverticulectomy and posterior cricopharyngeal myotomy, and we specified the important points in choosing the patient and the type of surgery.</p></trans-abstract>

Zenker divertikülü hastalarında başta disfaji olmak  üzere servikal bölgede takılma hissi, kilo kaybı,  regürjitasyon, öksürük, aspirasyon gibi semptomlar  görülebilmektedir. Bu hastalar başta disfaji yakın- masıyla Gastroenteroloji ve Kulak Burun Boğaz  kliniklerine başvurmakta ve çoğu zaman rutin fizik  muayenelerinin normal olması nedeni ile hastalık- larının tanı ve tedavisinde geç kalınmaktadır. Bu  nedenle disfaji yakınmasıyla başvuran özellikle  yaşlı hastalarda farengoözofageal divertikül ön  tanısı mutlaka düşünülmeli, baryumlu pasaj grafi- leri ve gerekiyorsa endoskopik yöntemler ile mut- laka değerlendirilmelidir.
