Resumen
Los divertículos epifrénicos, a pesar de ser infrecuentes y generalmente asintomáticos, pueden producir sintomatología clínica cuando son de gran tamaño. Se presenta el caso de un varón de 67 años, con molestias de varios años de evolución, que tras realizarle un tránsito baritado y una fibrogastroscopia se le diagnosticó un divertículo epifrénico de gran tamaño. Tras la cirugía el paciente está asintomático.
