Abstract

Killian Jamieson diverticulum is a rare diverticulum of the esophagus that out pouches through the Killian Jamieson’s dehiscence. They are relatively rare compared to Zenker's diverticula, although both present similarly. However, both needs to be distinguished separately and treated accordingly given their anatomic variations.
