 A  67 yo male patient with multinodular goiter in reexamination.

Ultrasound Medic revealed a cyst with air inside in posterior of right  thyroid lobe




CT with CE confirmed the cyst in contrast which is in connection to esophagus on the right side. A Zenker diverticulum was noted.


A Zenker's diverticulum is an outpouching that occurs at the junction of the lower part of the throat and the upper portion of the esophagus. The pouch forms because the muscle that divides the throat from the esophagus, the cricopharyngeal (CP) muscle, fails to relax during swallowing.
