The gastric fundal diverticulae are rare. They can present with variable symptoms. We are enclosing a literature review on gastric fundal diverticulum. Lessons have emerged which may help in the management of this rare condition in future.

Background:Gastric diverticulum (GD) is an extremely rare disorder that can easily be overlooked when investigating the cause of abdominal pain.

Symptomatic GD should be kept in consideration as a cause of abdominal issues, because not only is it treatable, but also complications of GD can be life thr...

Gastrointestinal upset is a common presentation to surgical departments, often requiring investigation with endoscopy. Pathologies such as gastritis or ulcers are common culprits. Occasionally, rare or unusual pathologies, such as gastric diverticula as was seen in the case presented, are found. A 26 year old female, with no known co-morbid conditions presented with a two week history of abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting. On further inquiry, she had one episode of blood stained ...
