Incidental Gastric Diverticulum in an Elderly Male with Chronic Dyspepsia

Abstract

Gastric diverticula are usually asymptomatic. When symptoms surface, they are mostly upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, while dyspepsia is less common. In this case, there was determined as an incidental of gastric diverticula that was managed by medical treatment. 70-year-old male came to our clinic complaining chronic epigastric pain and dyspepsia, with no known co-morbidities. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and tomography were performed at diagnosis. Medical treatment (proton pump inhibitor) was started and followed because the gastric diverticulum was 2 cm below. The patient is still under follow-up and has no clinical findings.
