Sumario:Pharyngoesophageal diverticula are rare causes of dysphagia. Zenker’s diverticulum is the most common type, followed by Killian–Jamieson diverticulum. A 44-year-old male presented to our clinic with a longstanding history of dysphagia and globus sensation. Bilateral pharyngoesophageal diverticula were confirmed by imaging CT and esophagogastroscopy. He underwent transcervical resection, and a right Killian–Jamieson diverticulum was observed during surgery. The left diverticulum was found to originate above the cricopharyngeus muscle and was labeled as Zenker’s diverticulum. Bilateral pharyngoesophageal diverticula are rare, and physicians should be aware of the variable clinical presentations and management options for pharyngoesophageal diverticula.
