“…Moreover, the identification of motility disorders in most of these patients raises speculation regarding the intricacy of a pulsion mechanism including for this location. Motility disorders such as achalasia, nutcracker esophagus, segmental esophageal spasm in the middle third, and nonspecific motility disorders (NSMD) are recorded in 92% of the patients (Figure 3) (16,25).…”

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.

“…This superfluous cursory approach to the esophagus is in contrast to their careful approach to the pharynx. In fact, radiologic evaluation of swallowing in patients with dysphagia is a tremendous resource that when correctly performed and interpreted allows for a correct diagnosis in the vast majority of these patients [1][2][3]. Another problem with the paper by Stephanie Watts et al is the confusing mixture about the aim of the radiologic examination.…”
