Abstract:
We reviewed 887 cases of esohagogram, 8863 cases of UGI series, 174 cases of small bowel series and 1926 casesof double contrast barium enema performed at the department of Radiology, Wonju College of Medicine from Jan. 1982 to Dec. 1984 to analyzed diverticula disease pattern of the GI tract in Korean. The results were as follows: 1.Esophageal diverticula The incidence was 3.27% and the sex ratio of male to female was 2.22:1 Age distribution wasrelatively even and most common in 5th decade. Most of them showed single in number, above 6mm sized and common inmiddle one third of both lateral side of esophagus. 2. Stomach diverticula The incidence was 0.07% and the sexratio of male to female was equal. Multiplicity was single in all cases. Most of them were above 11mm sized andcommon in gastric fundic area of greater curvature site of stomach. 3. Duodenal diverticula The incidence was1.51% and relatively even distribution in sex and age and common in after 5th decade. Most of them showed singlein number, 11-30mm sized and common in medial margin of 2nd portion of duodenum. 4. Colonic diverticula Theincidence was 2.34% and predominant in male and common in 5th. and 6th. decade. Most of them showed single innumber, below 5mm sized and common in right sided colon.
