“…The warning signs associated with dysphagia include decreased alertness (e.g. playing with food, or taking to large or repeated bites without swallowing), coughing or choking on food and drink, gurgly voice especially after eating/drinking, food or liquid left in the mouth after swallow, recurrent respiratory infections [17]. Difficulty with swallowing usually occur in all three phases: oral (difficulty chewing or forming bolus), pharyngeal and esophageal.…”

Huntington disease (HD) is a degenerative brain disease clinically manifested by the characteristic triad: physical symptoms including involuntary movements and poor coordination, cognitive changes with less ability to organize routine tasks, and some emotional and behavioral disturbances. For patients with HD, feeding is one of the problems they have to face. People with HD often have lower than average body weight and struggle with malnutrition. As a part of therapy, good nutrition is an intervention maintaining health and functional ability for maximally prolonged time. In the early stages of HD, small amounts of blenderized foods given orally are recommended. In more advanced stages, enteral nutrition is essential using gastric, or jejunal tubes for short term. Most severe cases require gastrostomy or gastrojejunostomy. Although enteral feeding is well tolerated by most of the patients, a number of complications may occur, including damage to the nose, pharynx, or esophagus, aspiration pneumonia, sinusitis, metabolic imbalances due to improper nutrient and fluid supply, adverse effects affecting gastrointestinal system, and refeeding syndrome.

SummaryBackgroundMid-esophageal region is an uncommon location of esophageal diverticula, a condition usually diagnosed in elderly individuals.Case ReportWe report a case of an elderly male with incidental finding of mediastinal lesion, which was initially thought to be an aortic aneurysm. Further evaluation demonstrated a mid-esophageal diverticulum at the level of the carina. We present patient’s medical history and imaging, followed by a discussion on symptoms and management.ConclusionsKnowledge of benign conditions that might mimic a mediastinal vascular pathology is important for therapeutic and prognostic reasons, as they are often managed conservatively.
