Abstract
- Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis is a rare disease characterized by multiple, flask-shaped outpouchings in the esophageal wall. These pseudodiverticula represent abnormally dilated excretory ducts of esophageal submucosal gland, which cause is unknown. The most common symptom is dysphagia associated with esophageal stricture. Frequently associated diseases were gastroesophageal reflux disease, diabetes mellitus, candida esophagitis, and chronic alcoholism. We have experienced a patient with dysphagia and anemia, who was diagnosed as esophageal stricture with intramural pseudodiverticulosis and pancreatic pseudoaneurysm. He was treated with esophageal bougienage for the esophageal stricture and transcatheter embolization for pancreatic pseudoaneurysm. This may be the first case of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis reported in Korea.
