title: [Diverticula of the stomach - diagnosis of their importance (author's transl)].
abstract: Gastric diverticula may be due to dilatation or traction. 75% are found in the fundus, 15% in the prepyloric antrum. In 10% they were situated elsewhere. Symptoms are unspecific. Radiography has to be combined with endoscopic investigation of their nature. Smaller diverticula are mainly treated conservatively, the larger ones will require surgery because of chronic symptoms and complications.
