Overview
Physical Examination
- The hallmark of ZD is Dysphagia. The most common symptoms of ZD include halitosis, regurgitation, coughing.
History
Asymptomatic in patients with small Zenker's diverticulum, the severity of the symptoms is proportional to the size of the diverticulum.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Common symptoms
Local pain
Food regurgitation
Less common symptoms
Pill dysphagia- pills stuck in the throat
Choking on the food
Weight loss
