Abstract

Zenker Diverticulum is a multifactorial disorder of the Killian’s triangle in the hypopharynx characterized by the main symptoms of dysphagia affecting the seventh and eighth decades of age and rarely under 40 years of age. The existence of factors that cause an increase in the intraluminal pressure of the pharynx will lead to the formation of a pocket located in the Killian’s triangle, an area with weaker tone of the hypopharyngeal wall and a decrease in relative pressure in the retropharyngeal space. Zenker Diverticulum was first described by Ludlow in 1769, who reported abnormal dilatation of the posterior pharyngeal wall on postmortem examination of a patient who complained a lifelong dysphagia. Zenker Diverticulum is thought to be associated with increasing age in relation to motor muscle coordination for swallowing functions and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Symptoms include dysphagia, regurgitation, malnutrition, and recurrent aspiration pneumonia. Management includes invasive surgery and non-invasive endoscopy.
