Case description

When the diverticulum is large enough to protrude
laterally, it protrudes to the left in 90% of the cases. After
the contrast agent bolus passes the upper esophagus, the
diverticulum is typically seen extending posterior to the
cricopharyngeus muscle, and contrast material that was
trapped within the diverticulum may be regurgitated back
into the hypopharynx.
