Bicornuate Zenker’s Diverticulum

Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) is a pulsin type diverticulum of the hypopharynx caused by the elevation of pressure within the esophagus and herniation of the esophageal mucosa and submucosa.1 The peak incidence of this disease is in the seventh to ninth decades and diagnosis is more common in men and elderly patients. The highest prevalence rate is estimated at 2 per 100,000 people.1,2 Hiatal hern...

Bicornuate Zenker’s Diverticulum

Endometrial carcinoma arising in a bicornuate uterus

Endometrial carcinomas arising in a bicornuate uterus are rare, only five case of which have been previously reported. We present a case of endometrial cancer arising in a bicornuate uterus, occurring in a 65-year-old woman. Unlike previously reported cases, our case showed mixed endometrial adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma in one horn and focal adenocarcinoma in the other. Adequat...

Twin Pregnancy in a Bicornuate Uterus

Abnormal fusion of the mullerian ducts causes variyng degrees of congenital uterine anomalies, associated with reproductive problems. Twin gestation in a case of bicornuate uterus is extremely rare and with a poor reproductive performance. We are reporting this case because there are only a few cases, less than 20, in previous reports.

Twin Gestation in a Septate Bicornuate Uterus

Bicornuate and septate uteri are among the commonest Mullerian anomalies. They are sporadic and fairly distinguished, but hybrid deformities can occur. This combination creates aetiological and clinical difficulties. The alternative theory of concurrent fusion and septal resorption of the Mullerian duct is seen as the basis of the altered foetal embryology, while the favourable outlook of a bic...

Killian-Jamieson Diverticulum: Cervical Oesophageal Diverticulum.

Killian-Jamieson (K-J) diverticulum is an outpouching from the lateral wall of the proximal cervical oesophagus and is less commonly encountered compared to Zenker's diverticulum (ZD). These diverticulae arise between the fibers of the cricopharyngeus muscle superiorly and longitudinal muscle of the oesophagus inferiorly. In this report we present a case of a symptomatic Killian Jamieson divert...
