Abstract
Abstract Although regarded as a rarity, a diverticulum of the stomach is commoner than is generally supposed. In a series of 370 consecutive opaque-meal examinations a gastric diverticulum was found in 11 cases. This series included a case of a post-operative diverticulum following a wedge excision of an ulcer on the lesser curvature. Excluding the post-operative diverticulum, so far only one of the cases has been confirmed at operation. The following is a short account of the case.
