How does esophageal diverticulitis develop?

Esophageal diverticulitis is esophageal diverticulum, which may be caused by congenital dysplasia, muscle incoordination or scar contraction.

1. Congenital dysplasia of

esophageal diverticulum above the diaphragm may be related to congenital dysplasia, often with diffuse spasm, esophagitis, achalasia or diaphragmatic hernia and other diseases coexist.

2. Muscle incoordination When

swallowing muscle contraction pushes food down, cricopharynx muscle relaxation will cause pressure increase in the hypopharynx esophagus, which may cause esophageal mucosa weak area to bulge and form diverticulum for a long time.

3. Scar contraction of

adjacent organs or lymph nodes near the hilum of the lung may form scar, adhesion, pulling the whole layer of the esophagus, and may form traction diverticulum.
