ABSTRACT |
Lateral pharyngeal diverticula are rare lesions. They are not to be confused with the more common pharyngoesophageal diverticulum, sometimes referred to as Zenker's diverticulum. Lateral diverticula arise from the tonsillar fossa, vallecula, or pyriform fossa on either side of the pharynx, whereas the pharyngoesophageal diverticulum arises from the posterior hypopharynx through a defect between the inferior constrictor and cricopharyngeus muscles. Recently, the authors had experienced a case of lateral pharyngeal pouch arising from right oropharyngeal wall, 6-years-old female patient who complain of intermittent coughing, which was completely removed with LASER and obtained good result. So, the authors report with review of literature a case of lateral pharyngeal pouch.
