“…In the case of diffuse intramural pseudodiverticulosis, inflammation and fibrosis of the submucosa can be seen. Another aspect is the diffuse thickening of the esophageal wall, with the loss of its stratigraphy, associated with the presence of small intramural gas collections (68).…”

Background and Objective: Esophageal diverticulum (ED) is a relatively rare condition, characterized by high etio-and pathophysiological versatility, with an uncommon clinical impact, consequently requiring a complete and complex diagnostic evaluation, so that the therapeutic decision is "appropriate" to a specific case. The aim of the paper is, therefore, a reassessment of the diagnostic possibilities underlying the establishment of the therapeutic protocol and the available therapeutic resources, making a review of the literature, and a non-statistical retrospective analysis of cases hospitalized and operated in a tertiary center.Methods: Thus, classical investigations (upper digestive endoscopy, barium swallow) need to be correlated with complex, manometric, and imaging evaluations with direct implications in therapeutic management.Moreover, in the absence of a precise etiology, the operative indication needs to be established sparingly, with the imposition of the identification and interception of the pathophysiological mechanisms through the therapeutic gesture.
