Overview

An x-ray (barium esophagogram) is the best initial imaging study in a patient suspected with Zenker's Diverticulum (ZD). Findings on an x-ray (barium esophagogram) suggestive of esophageal diverticulum associated with ZD appear as thin projections on the anterior esophageal wall over the Killian's triangle.

X Ray

Barium swallow

A simple barium swallow will normally reveal the diverticulum. Endoscopy should not be performed due to the risk of perforating the diverticulum.
