Rare Esophageal Condition Diagnosed at GMC Baramulla After Careful Evaluation

Baramulla: A middle-aged man who presented to Government Medical College (GMC) Baramulla with complaints of difficulty in swallowing was recently diagnosed with a rare but benign esophageal condition, highlighting the importance of timely and accurate medical evaluation.

The patient had been experiencing discomfort while eating for several months. Given his age and symptoms, there was initial concern about a possible serious underlying illness, including esophageal cancer.

The Gastroenterology Department at GMC Baramulla, under the leadership of Dr. Zaffar Kawoosa, carried out a detailed and systematic assessment. Investigations included upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) scans of the chest and abdomen.
The imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis of epiphrenic diverticulum, a rare esophageal disorder that can closely mimic the symptoms of esophageal malignancy despite being non-cancerous.
