High-Yield Explanation
• Gastric diverticula are usually solitary and may be congenital or acquired. • Congenital diverticula are true diverticula and contain a full coat of muscularis propria, whereas acquired diverticula (perhaps caused by pulsion) usually have a negligible outer muscle layer. • Most gastric diverticula occur in the posterior cardia or fundus. • Most of the time gastric diverticula are asymptomatic. • However, they can become inflamed and may produce pain or bleeding. • Perforation is rare. Treatment: • Asymptomatic diverticula do not require treatment • Symptomatic lesions should be removed. This can often be done laparoscopically.
