Which of the following is investigation of choice for Zenker's diveiculum?

A
CECT
B
Endoscopy
C
Esophageal manometry
D
Barium swallow
High-Yield Explanation
When suspected, the diagnosis is established by a barium swallow.. Endoscopy is usually difficult in the presence of a cricopharyngeus diveiculum and potentially dangerous, owing to the obstruction of the true esophageal lumen by the diveiculum and the associated risk of diveicular perforation.
