Abstract

Introduction: Zenker’s diverticulum is a rare pathological entity characterized as is a herniation of the pharyngoesophageal mucosa by impulse, developed through a dehiscence of the muscular wall of the pharyngoesophageal junction located above the upper esophageal sphincter. The mainly digestive symptomatology is a high dysphagia with regurgitation. For patients with symptoms, surgery remains the only treatment option. The objective of this work was to highlight the difficulties of surgery in the management of an inflammatory zenker’s diverticulum managed in the general surgery department of the Aristide Le Dantec hospital. Observation: herein we reported the observation of 61-year-old hypertensive patient known to be on treatement, dialyzed for 5 years for chronic end-stage renal faillure, referred from nephrology for the management of an inflamed zenker s diverticulum. She had performed a cervical tomodensitometry and a barium enema which come back in favor of a zenker’s diverticulum, she benefited from a suture of the neck of the diverticulum and the aftemath was enamelled with complications of pneumopathy. Conclusion: Zenker’s diverticulum is a rare pathology occurring in the elderly. The diagnosis is suggested by certain clinical signs such as regurgitation and dysphagia; the definitive treatment remains surgery.
