Esophageal Intramural Pseudodiverticulosis and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Presenting with Vomiting: a Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of vomiting due to Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in a very elderly patient with coincidental Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIP). He had esophageal ulcer most probably due to GERD and an asymptomatic stricture probably caused by GERD and unlikely to be due to EIP, as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed EIP at the inlet of an eccentric stricture and ulceration at the lower one third of esophagus with normal gastroduodenoscopy. Patient was discharged with improved general condition with treatment of GERD, supporting the fact that not only the presentation of GERD in very elderly is unusual but also its coincidence with EIP presenting with vomiting without being caused by its asymptotic stricture is reportable as was in our case.
