Abstract

Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis is a benign disease characterized by numerous, small outpouchings from the esophageal epithelium. Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis has scarcely been reported with only 200-300 cases worldwide. The etiology of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis is also unclear; however, there is an associated increased risk with diabetes mellitus, gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophageal candidiasis, and chronic alcohol and tobacco abuse. Esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis has a characteristic appearance on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Treatment of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis has historically been limited to symptom management with acid suppression, anti-fungal therapy, and endoscopic dilation in areas of stricture. This report is a case of a 52-year-old female status post two esophageal stricture repairs with dilation over prior 2 years, who presented with non-remitting solid food dysphagia and food impaction found to have esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis with concomitant jackhammer esophagus and esophageal candidiasis.
