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]

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]

  Cross et al. [ 7 ] suggested three possible mechanisms by which diverticula could be created as a consequence of increased intra-luminal pressure. [hon.ch]

  For example, case reports suggest doing a cricopharyngeal myotomy when resecting a Zenker diverticulum. Click here for Patient Education NOTE: This is the Professional Version. [merckmanuals.com]

  Tracheotomy As suggested above, tracheotomy may independently produce dysphagia. [nature.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]

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]
