Isolated Fundal Diverticula: A Case Report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Gastric diverticula are rare in routine clinical practice. Diverticula are out-pouching from tubular structures. True diverticula involve all layers of the intestinal wall, whereas false diverticula are caused by herniation of mucosa and submucosa through the muscular wall. Gastric diverticula are mostly asymptomatic. Most commonly the symptoms are upper abdominal pain, nausea and emesis, while dyspepsia and vomiting are less common. Ulceration with hemorrhage or perforation has been reported. Gastric diverticula are usually 1 to 3 cm in diameter. We present the case report of a middle aged man who came with complaint of indigestion, abdominal pain and bloating. On upper GI endoscopy he was diagnosed with gastric fundal diverticula.
