Özet
Gastric diverticulum is the rarest type of diverticular disease of the gastrointestinal tract, ranging from 0.02 to 0.11% in different series. We report the case of a 53-year-old male patient who presented with upper abdominal pain that was associated with gastric diverticulum and cholelithiazis. There was no specific health history or family history of disease, trauma, operation and drug use. He described having epigastric abdominal pain for a few days. An endoscopic evaluation revealed a round-shaped gastric diverticulum structure. Additional imaging studies such as abdominal ultrasonography and computerized tomography diagnosed two separate pathologies as follows: multiple millimetric cholelithiazis and 16 mm in diameter, located near the esophagogastric junction, gastric diverticulum. This patient was considered as mild symptomatic cholelithiazis and asymptomatic, small gastric diverticulum. Symptomatic anti-acid treatment was prescribed.
