This document discusses and provides images of different types of esophageal diverticula. It defines and shows examples of Zenker's diverticulum, cervical traction diverticulum caused by post-operative scarring after laryngectomy, thoracic diverticulum, epiphrenic diverticulum, intramural esophageal pseudodiverticulosis, and intraluminal esophageal diverticulum. The final image shows an intraluminal diverticulum caused by acid ingestion resulting in moderate stenosis of the distal esophagus.

3. • Fig GI 7-1 Small Zenker's diverticulum (arrow).

4. • Fig GI 7-2 Large Zenker's diverticulum almost
occluding the esophageal lumen.

5. • Fig GI 7-3 Cervical traction diverticulum
(arrow) caused by postoperative scarring after
total laryngectomy.

6. • Fig GI 7-4 Thoracic diverticulum.

7. • Fig GI 7-5 Epiphrenic diverticulum.

8. • Fig GI 7-6 Intramural esophageal
pseudodiverticulosis.

9. • Fig GI 7-7 Intraluminal esophageal diverticulum.
The wall of the diverticulum appears as a thin
radiolucent line (arrows). Note the moderate
irregular stenosis of the distal esophagus
secondary to the acid ingestion that resulted in
the formation of the intraluminal diverticulum.18
