Gastric diverticula are the outpouchings of the stomach wall. They are the least common diverticula of the gastrointestinal system. They are usually asymptomatic and are diagnosed accidentally by upper gastrointestinal contrast radiographic studies or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Identification is important as they can cause serious complications such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation. We herein present a case of asymptomatic congenital gastric diverticulum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
