More (Click Discussion Tab)
Killian-Jamieson Diverticulum
General Considerations
- Arises from cervical esophagus below cricopharyngeal muscle (about C5-C6) laterally
- Originates on the antero-lateral wall of cervical esophagus through a muscular gap (the Killian-Jamieson space) lateral to longitudinal muscle of the esophagus
- It is a pulsion, not a true, diverticulum since it does not involve all layers of esophagus
- Usually smaller than a Zenker diverticulum
