Multiple Gastric Diverticula

Imaging Findings of Gastric Diverticula

INTRODUCTION Gastric diverticula (GD) are very rare. Computer tomographic findings in GD have been reported only as case reports previously. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of GD on computed tomography (CT) and to analyze their radiological appearances. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2006 to 2013, a total of 14,428 patients were examined by abdominal/thoracic CT at our instit...

GASTRIC DIVERTICULA ON THE GREATER CURVATURE (Abstract): Gastric diverticula are extremely rare in the surgical pathology and is usually asymptomatic. Their discovery is in most cases incidentally, on radiographic examination or autopsy. The most frequent localization is on the posterior wall of the cardia and on the lesser curvature of the stomach. Symptomatic gastric diverticula are rare, mai...

Laparoscopic Resection of Symptomatic Gastric Diverticula

Gastric diverticula are rare and usually asymptomatic. This report, however, describes two examples of symptomatic gastric diverticula successfully treated by laparoscopic resection. Both patients were male and in their sixth decade of life. One patient was relatively healthy with no past medical history, whereas the other patient had chronic pain issues and at presentation was also undergoing ...

Multiple Giant Diverticula of the Bronchus.

We report the case of a 36-year-old man, former smoker (14 pack-years), candidate for lung transplant due to acquired non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Standard chest X-ray showed pulmonary hyperinflation and radiolucent images consistent with bronchiectasis. Bronchiectasis was confirmed on computed axial tomography of the chest, which revealed images of air in the mediastinum suggestive of t...
