Forty year old woman with dysphagia underwent surgical correction of complete vascular ring formed by right aortic arch, Kommerell's diverticulum and ligamentum arteriosum. Operation consisted of ligamentum division, reduction diverticuloplasty and posterior diverticulopexy via left posterolateral thoracotomy. Dysphagia was relieved postoperatively, and concentic narrowing of esophagus in the level of aortic arch disappeared on postoperative esophagography.

Recently we experienced one, case of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum of a 50 - year - old female patient who had complained heaviness in her chest after meals and occasional dysphagia for one year. Preoperative barium study showed a large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum at about 7cm above the diaphragm which protruded to the right side of the mid thorax. On the operation field, epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum, measuring 5x 6x3cm in size, was noted. Diverticulectomy and extended myotomy was performed and the postoperative course was uneventful.

Esophageal diverticulum is very rare disease. Since it usually has no symptoms, it is hard to find and diagnose. Moreover, if the diverticulum is located nearly to thyroid gland, surgeons sometimes misdiagnose as a thyroid nodule. Here, we represent our case which has papillary thyroid cancer and esophageal diverticulum together. In this case, we experienced the surgical procedure and postoperative complications of the esophageal diverticulum. Even though esophageal diverticulum was in preoperative computed tomography and ultrasound, it was neglected before the surgery so that found during the operation. The purpose of this study was to know the preoperative radiological findings of the esophageal diverticulum and to find out what to be aware of during surgery and how to manage the complications after surgery.

We experienced a case of acquired benign bronchoesophageal fistula associated esophageal diverticulum which was treated successfully by division of ~stulous tract and esophageal diverticulectomy.Benign bronchoesophageal fistulas associated with esophageal diverticulum are very rare. This presentation is characterized by paroxysmal cough especially after drinking liquids and is easily diagnosed by esophagogram. We report a case with review of literatures.

The calyceal diverticulum is a cystic cavity lined by a transitional epithelium, is encased within the renal substance, and is situated peripheral to a minor calyx, to which it is connected by a narrow channel. Both congenital and acquired factors have been suggested to explain the formation of a calyceal diverticulum. We experienced a case of a huge calyceal diverticulum that was newly developed after a renal injury.

A duodenal diverticulum is a frequent abnormality that is usually diagnosed incidentally. Clinical manifestations usually mimic those of highly-varied entities. Among the complications of a duodenal diverticulum, perforation is fairly rare; rupture due to blunt trauma is even rarer, and no cases have been reported in Korean literature. We report the case of a 61-year-old male patient who presented with a perforated duodenal diverticulum after a blunt trauma. We also review the existing literature.

Tracheal diverticulum is often diagnosed incidentally and, due to its rarity, there is no standard treatment. It is a benign entity, but has the potential to cause specific symptoms, such as chronic upper respiratory infection and chronic cough. Symptomatic tracheal diverticulum can be medically treated, but likelihood of recurrence is high. We report a case of surgical resection of symptomatic tracheal diverticulum to prevent recurrence.

A seven-year-old, castrated male, Korean domestic shorthair cat was referred because of a kidney abnormality. Radiography revealed left renal agenesis and right kidney enlargement. Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) showed amorphous calcified materials in a cyst-like lesion of the right kidney. In the excretory phase of the CT images, the lesion was opacified with contrast materials, indicating communication with the collecting system. Based on these findings, the cat was diagnosed with a calyceal diverticulum. A calyceal diverticulum may cause various clinical symptoms related to the urinary system. The excretory phase of CT is useful for diagnosing a calyceal diverticulum.

Killian-Jamieson diverticulum is a permanent protrusion of anterolateral proximal esophagus through anatomically weak muscular gap, known as Killian-Jamieson area, into adjacent area. During a routine educational dissection, we found a well-defined lateral diverticulum just inferior to the transverse fibers of the cricopharyngeus muscle in a Korean male cadaver. It had a dimension of $1.8{\times}1.4{\times}1.0cm$ with two types of epithelial cells, stratified squamous and simple cuboidal to low-columnar epithelium, and attenuated and haphazardly arranged muscle fibers. No epithelial dysplasia or malignant transformation was identified except ulcerative changes. Although Killian-Jamieson diverticulum is a very rare disease, clinicopathological aspects should be considered.

A bladder diverticulum occurs when the bladder mucosa herniates or protrudes through the muscular wall of the baldder. The majority of congenital bladder diverticula occurs in males. They are the most common in the region of the bladder base, most frequently in the region of the ureteral hiatus, in which case they are known as Hutch's diverticula. They can give rise to obstruction or reflux. We had experienced a case of bilateral Hutch's diverticulum associated with vesicoureterai reflux in a 23 month old male. Chief complaints were urinary frequency and dysuria. Voiding cystourogram and CT scan revealed large bilateral Hutch's diverticulum with bilateral vesiciureteral reflux grade VI. There was evidence of urinary infection. This patient was successfully treated by ureteroneocystostomy. We report this case with a brief review of related literatures.
