Abstract
Seven cases of gastric diverticulum found during last three years were presented. Two cases were female and five were male. The age ranged from 39 to 81. There were five patients with diverticulum located at the cardiac region and two at the corpus ventriculi. A case of 81-years-old male was complicated with gastric ulcer, duodenal diverticulum and hypertension. A case with gastric cancer, 66-years-old male, received gastric resection. The other two cases had thyroid diseass.
Because of comparative rarity, 413 cases of gastric diverticulum reported since 1918 in Japan, were reviewed and discussed.
