Overview
The three different types of the esophageal diverticula are as follows Phrenoesophageal (Zenker's diverticulum-70%), Epiphrenic, Thoracic and mediastinal.
Classification
Esophageal diverticula are classified on the basis of location into three types[1][2]
1. Phrenoesophageal (Zenker's diverticulum-70%),
2. Epiphrenic (20%)
3. Thoracic and mediastinal (10%)
Almost all esophageal diverticula are acquired pulsion diverticula.
