Killian-Jamieson Diverticulum: Cervical Oesophageal Diverticulum

Killian-Jamieson (K-J) diverticulum is an outpouching from the lateral wall of the proximal cervical oesophagus and is less commonly encountered compared to Zenker's diverticulum (ZD). These diverticulae arise between the fibers of the cricopharyngeus muscle superiorly and longitudinal muscle of the oesophagus inferiorly. In this report we present a case of a symptomatic Killian Jamieson diverticulum and review the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis and radiological findings that distinguish it from the more common Zenker's diverticulum.
