Oesophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis is an uncommon condition, characterized by multiple small rounded cavities seen in the oesophageal wall during oesophagogastroduodenoscopy. It is often associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, achalasia, oesophageal candidiasis and diabetes mellitus. We report a 40 year old Nigerian man who presented with recurrent dysphagia and endoscopic findings typical of oesophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis. The patient was managed medically with resolution of the dysphagia. This report highlights the occurrence of this rare and benign cause of dysphagia in Nigeria.

食管壁内假性憩室病是一种罕见疾病,其特征是在食管胃十二指肠镜检查时可见食管壁内有多个小圆形腔隙。它常与胃食管反流病、贲门失弛缓症、食管念珠菌病和糖尿病相关。我们报告一名40岁的尼日利亚男子,他因反复吞咽困难就诊,内镜检查结果符合食管壁内假性憩室病。该患者接受了药物治疗,吞咽困难症状得以缓解。本报告强调了在尼日利亚这种罕见的良性吞咽困难病因的发生情况。
