Mean age was 56\u2009\u00b1\u200910\u00a0years. 86% were males, 76% had alcohol abuse, 57% had nicotine abuse, 38% had arteriosclerosis, 33% had COPD, 29% had malignancies, 24% had liver cirrhosis, 19% had impaired kidney function, and 15% had diabetes. Dysphagia was present in 62% and food bolus impaction (single or repeated) in 48%. Endoscopically, 95% of patients had multiple (&gt;\u20094), small (0.25\u20132.5\u00a0mm) pseudodiverticle openings in the esophageal wall. In 62%, openings were aligned longitudinally. 86% showed edematous swelling of mucosa (\u201cfrosted glass look\u201d), 76% showed a fine-grained pattern of small (10\u2013100\u00a0\u00b5m) red dots (\u201cfaux uni pattern\u201d), and 76% had a rigid, narrow lumen with multiple rings (\u201ctrachealization\u201d).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>With a prevalence of approximately 5 to 50\/100.000, DEIPD may be more frequent than previously estimated. It preferably affects middle-aged male alcoholics. Key symptoms are chronic dysphagia and food impaction. Typical endoscopic findings are multiple, small, longitudinally aligned pseudodiverticle openings, frosted glass look, faux uni pattern, and trachealization of the esophagus.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10388-020-00729-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,11]],"date-time":"2020-03-11T06:02:40Z","timestamp":1583906560000},"page":"492-501","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Clinical and endoscopic characteristics of diffuse esophageal intramural pseudo-diverticulosis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2856-3940","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florian","family":"Hentschel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"L\u00fcth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"729_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"928","DOI":"10.1016\/S0046-8177(88)80008-X","volume":"19","author":"LJ Medeiros","year":"1988","unstructured":"Medeiros LJ, Doos WG, Balogh K.
