case_images: A CT scan showed a right hydropneumothorax and hydromediastinum (Fig. 1).
case_images: Upper GI study : the red arrows indicated the origin of the Zenker's diverticulum perforation and opacification reveals a large retro-oesophageal cavity.

case_images: An upper GI study was nevertheless performed and allowed to confirm the hypothesis of a Zenker's diverticulum perforation (Fig. 2).
case_images: Peroperative photograph : the site of perforation of the Zenker's diverticulum is identified with the help of a nasogastric tube (not shown on this picture) and complete dissection of the diverticulum is performed before stapling. 1 : perforated diverticulum 2 : cervical oesophagus.

case_images: We performed a resection of the Zenker's diverticulum by stapling, a cricomyotomy and a mediastinal drainage by left cervicotomy (Fig. 3).
case_images: Postoperative upper GI study : no leak or stenosis; multitubular drainage in front of the suture.
