AB  - A 47-year-old man was found to have a 3-cm epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum on 
      an upper gastrointestinal (UGI) barium study. He developed the symptoms of 
      heartburn approximately 12 months later. UGI endoscopy indicated non-erosive 
      gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD) and an epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum. 
      A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) did not relieve the symptoms. An UGI barium study 
      at that time showed that the epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum had enlarged to 7 
      cm, and esophageal manometry showed findings of achalasia and diffuse esophageal 
      spasm (DES), thus vigorous achalasia was diagnosed. Resection of the epiphrenic 
      esophageal diverticulum, myotomy, and fundoplication (the Heller-Dor procedure) 
      were successfully performed and no postoperative symptoms were encountered.
