Symptomatic Gastric Diverticulum in the Antrum: A Case Report

Gastric diverticulum is an out -pouching that occurs in the gastric wall and, often, when found, is incidental and asymptomatic. While they do not occur commonly, gastric diverticula are located most commonly in the posterior wall of the fundus of the stomach, and their presence in the antrum, as appreciated in the case described below, is quite rare. We present a 65 -year -old female who was found to have an antral gastric diverticulum on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). There have been a few reported cases in the literature of gastric diverticulum that occurred in the antrum. This case report will shed light on this rare pathology, focusing on the occurrence in the antrum.
