Zenker’s Diverticulum: Advanced Radiologic Diagnosis, Pathophysiology, and Multimodal Enterprise Management
Comprehensive clinical guide covering fluoroscopic imaging, Killian's triangle anatomy, differential diagnoses, and enterprise AI workflows. Edited by ScholarGen MediAI Team Executive Clinical Summary Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) is an acquired, false pulsion diverticulum situated through Killian’s triangle, a zone of anatomical weakness located between the oblique fibers of the thyropharyngeus muscle and the horizontal fibers of the cricopharyngeus muscle. Clinically manifesting with progressive dysphagia, nocturnal regurgitation of undigested food, cervical gurgling, halitosis, and aspiration risks, this lesion predominantly affects older adults. This article provides a comprehensive evaluation of ZD, detailing its embryological and anatomical basis, fluoroscopic and cross-sectional imaging features, differential diagnoses, clinical management, enterprise-level AI workflow integration, and radiologic diagnostic pitfalls.
