Surgical treatment of a gastric diverticulum in an adolescent

Steven Elliott et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2006 Aug.

Abstract

Gastric diverticula are uncommonly seen in childhood. They typically emanate from the posterior wall of the stomach near the gastroesophageal junction. The authors report on a 15-year-old adolescent boy who presented with a symptomatic gastric diverticulum that was surgically resected. Potential pitfalls in diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
