Overview
Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) appears as an out-pouching sac on the CT scan over the posterior esophagus in the Killian's triangle, a point of weakness in the muscular wall of the hypopharynx surrounded by the cricopharyngeal sphincter and oblique fibers of the inferior constrictor of the pharyngeal muscle.
