title: Intramural pseudodiverticulosis--an unusual cause of benign oesophageal stricture.
abstract: Three cases of intramural pseudodiverticulosis of the oesophagus are described together with a review of the relevant literature. This unusual condition, diagnosed by characteristic features on the barium swallow, is associated with a high incidence of benign oesophageal stricture which responds readily to endoscopic dilatation.
