Esophageal pseudodiverticulosis: two new cases in children

Pediatr Radiol. 1992;22(3):194-5. doi: 10.1007/BF02012493.

Abstract

Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD) is an uncommon entity in which distended esophageal mucous glands form flask-like outpouchings from the esophagus. Its relationship with esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux, and benign stricture suggests that it is a consequence of inflammation.
