Özet
Midesophageal diverticulum which has traction in etiology may be asymptomatic or symptomatic. Treatment is changed according to the severity of the symptoms and size of it. Midesophageal diverticula were developed after tuberculous infection in our case. It was released from adjacent tissue with adhesiolysis. It was small, esophageal wall was intact and diverticula's wall returns to normal esophageal wall so diverticulectomy was not performed. The case was followed up for six months and no complaint occurred. © 2011 Asian Pacific Tropical Medicine Press.
