Abstract

The Authors, on the basis of two recently observed cases of gastric diverticula, emphasize its relative rarity and set out the various aetiopathogenetic theories of the disease. In this connection they point out that, apart from congenital alterations, particular importance may attach to gastric dyskinetic factors. The Authors conclude by discussing the diagnostic difficulties posed by gastric diverticula and setting out the modern possibilities of study and therapy of the disease.

[Gastric diverticulum. A case report with long-term follow-up and a review of the literature].

A rare case of symptomatic gastric diverticulum surgically managed is reported. The pathogenetic and clinical aspects of the disease are discussed and the usefulness of endoscopy as a means for differentiation between medical and surgical cases is stressed. A review of the literature is made and the conclusion is drawn that this uncommon pathology is often asymptomatic and requires surgical management only in complicated cases and in symptomatic patients that are not responding to medical treatment, as showed by the long-term follow-up (333 months) of the reported case.
