Laparoscopic Resection of a Gastric Diverticulum in an Adolescent

Gastric diverticula rarely occur in adolescence. In adults, they are predominantly congenital, asymptomatic, and are located adjacent to the gastroesophageal junction on the posterior aspect of the stomach wall. In this report we present a 14-year-old female who underwent laparoscopic gastric diverticulectomy after incidental discovery on magnetic resonance urography.
