Gastric Diverticulum


Michael P. Federle, MD, FACR









(Left) Upright film from an upper GI series shows a typical gastric diverticulum image with an air-contrast level seen within an outpouching near the gastric cardia. (Right) Axial CECT in the same patient shows a near-water-density mass image projecting posterior to the gastric fundus image. The connection to the stomach is much more difficult to see on CT. Distention of the stomach with oral contrast or gas granules may be required to make the diagnosis on a CT scan.
