[Tracheal diverticulum: a case report].

Tracheal diverticulum is a clinical entity rarely reported in the literature. It results from a congenital or acquired weakness of the tracheal wall. Most tracheoceles cause few symptoms and are well tolerated. Diagnosis is often based on computerized tomography (CT) scan findings. We describe a case of a middle-aged male presenting non-specific pharyngeal discomfort. A diagnosis of tracheal diverticulum was made based on a cervical CT scan.
