Killian Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is lesser common than Zenker's diverticulum (ZD). Various treatment modalities have been recommended but traditional surgical treatment has been recommended for a symptomatic KJD. Recently, traditional open surgery for a symptomatic KJD is being challenged by the development of new endoscopic techniques and devices. We document a rare report of a left KJD diagnosed on barium esophagogram and flexible endoscopy. Diverticulum excision and an esophagomyotomy was done and following treatment the patient's symptoms resolved and he recovered well.
