title: Killian-jamieson diverticulum: the rarer cervical esophageal diverticulum.
abstract: Killian-Jamieson (K-J) diverticulum is a rare cervical oesophageal diverticulum, less commonly encountered compared with Zenker's diverticulum (ZD). We report a case of K-J diverticulum in a 52-year-old lady who presented with sensation of lump in the neck and food stuck in the throat of 5 years duration. Esophagogram showed a large rightsided pharyngoesophageal diverticulum which was confirmed on endoscopy. The patient underwent a diverticulopexy and recovered without complications. Her symptoms had improved. In this report, we review the literature and describe our surgical technique.
