Beitrag zur Röntgenmorphologie der intramuralen Pseudodivertikulose des Ösophagus

Abstract

Two cases of oesophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis are described. They presented with typical numerous pseudodiverticula, each one or several millimetres in size, within the mucosa. One patient had a fibrous stenosis. In both cases CT showed localised thickening of the wall of the oesophagus. The few reports in the literature concerning histology, clinical findings and aetiology are reviewed.
