Abstract
Gastric diverticula have been considered to be rave when compored with diverticula in other sites of the gastrointestinal tract. It's prevalence is 0.043% of routine gastrointestinal radiologic examination by Palmer's extensive review. Gastric diverticula almost always occur as a single lesion and approximately 75% of gastric diverticula occur in the juxtacardiac region, high on the posterior wall of the stomach, about 2 cm below the esophagogastric junction and 3 cm from the lesser curvature. We report a case of 75-year-old male patient with multiple gastric diverlicula which was first encountered by endoscopy and confirmed by upper gastrointestinal radiologic examination.
