| description | A gastric diverticulum is an outpouching from the gastric mucosa. It is extremely rare. It is normally
asymptomatic, but some may present with non-specific abdominal pain. A combination of upper
gastrointestinal endoscopy and radiological contrast study such as oral barium study and computed
tomography are needed to make a definite diagnosis and to rule out other associated pathology. Although
treatment with medical therapy has been reported to be effective, the use of open and laparoscopic
resection also yields a good outcome in the management of complicated gastric diverticulum. We present a
case of symptomatic gastric diverticulum which has been successfully treated with medical therapy. |
