We present the case of a 77-year-old woman with a large acquired tracheal diverticulum who presented many difficulties for orotracheal intubation and hemoptysis. [archbronconeumol.org]

The clinical presentation of an H type fistula is different than the other fistulae because it does not share the common presenting signs associated with atretic esophagus. [pedclerk.uchicago.edu]

The emphasis is on clinical applications including presenting symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options for patients with EoE. [books.google.de]

Zenker's diverticula are often found in older patients who present with dysphagia, regurgitation of undigested food, choking, hoarseness, halitosis or even a neck mass. [med-ed.virginia.edu]

• Wide Neck

  The chronically infected lymph nodes adhere to the wall of the esophagus and subsequent contraction pulls out part of the esophageal wall forming a triangular or tent-shaped diverticulum with a wide neck and narrow fundus. [hon.ch]

Significant updates on bariatric surgery, Barrett's esophagus, endoscopic ultrasound, endosonography, treatment of liver disease, and much more keep you current on the latest advances. [books.google.de]

TREATMENT AND OUTCOMES Symptomatic Zenker's diverticula can be treated by surgical excision. Newer treatments are applied endoscopically. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Traditional treatment of esophageal diverticula has been surgical. Less-invasive, endoscopic treatments are also becoming very prevalent and are the treatment of choice in patients who are not ideal surgical candidates. [clinicaladvisor.com]

[…] mid esophagus at level of tracheal bifurcation; becoming uncommon; previously mostly due to tuberculosis, mediastinal lymphadenitis and scarring; may be due to motor dysfunction, congenital or alkali ingestion ( Med Hypotheses 2004;62:931 ); better prognosis [pathologyoutlines.com]

Even in adenocarcinoma which is less sensitive to chemo and radiotherapy, combined treatment improves prognosis. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Prognosis and Patient Counseling. Both surgical and endoscopic modalities have high success rates for symptom improvement (>90%). Surgical intervention does have an associated perioperative mortality of approximately 1.8%. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Therefore, the prognosis is largely dependent on early diagnosis and management including surgical correction. [patient.info]

The possibility of a secondary motor disorder in the etiology of the diverticulum must be considered in these circumstances. [hon.ch]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

They are categorized primarily by anatomic location and etiology into pulsion and traction diverticula. [ctsnet.org]

Pathogenesis Etiology Congenital or acquired. [vetstream.com]

The etiology is controversial and is probably due to elevated upper esophageal pressure, cricopharyngeus dysfunction and reflux. [radiologyassistant.nl]

An epidemiological study reviewed data from 2002 to 2006 in 30 countries and estimated a worldwide incidence of about 0.8 per 1,000, which is much lower than older studies. [ 6 ] The incidence of cleft palate alone is about 1 in 2,000. [patient.info]

Epidemiology Age Most esophageal diverticula occur in middle-aged adults and elderly people. Presentation in infants and children is rarely seen. [emedicine.medscape.com]

While there are differences between squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma in epidemiology, location and patterns of spread, both diseases tend to spread early outside the esophagus and both share a rather poor prognosis unless discovered early. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Finally, many disorders of these organs that occur in adulthood also occur in childhood, but may have different epidemiology, manifestations, or optimal management in these younger patients. [nature.com]

Usually found in pairs on opposite sides of the bladder, bladder diverticula are often surgically removed to prevent infection, rupture, or even cancer. [en.wikipedia.org]

The myotomy will prevent suture-line leak at the diverticulectomy site by relieving distal obstruction, in addition to decreasing diverticular recurrence and relieve symptoms of the underlying motility condition. [ctsnet.org]

These preventive measures are very important in elderly patients who tend to take multiple medications particularly at bedtime. Chronic lesions caused by mucosal injury often lead to strictures. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Half of those with GERD respond to pharmacotherapy, the other half require additional surgical intervention with fundoplication to prevent long term complications such as Barrett’s esophagus and adenocarcinoma. [pedclerk.uchicago.edu]
