Killian-Jamieson diverticula (KJD) and Zenker's diverticula (more common) share similar pathophysiology but are considered to be different types of phrenoesophageal diverticula. A 55-year-old female presented to the clinic with chronic dysphagia, halitosis, and regurgitation. Imaging modalities confirmed a Killian-Jamieson diverticulum, explaining her symptoms. She was offered different treatment options and decided to proceed with a less invasive endoscopic approach. Physicians should be aware of the variable presentations of KJD and the different available treatments as newer techniques are becoming more popular and preferable by patients.
