A member asked:
How come i have zenker diverticulum, but nobody else in the family has ever had it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't run in familie: Every one is different. Swallowing mechanism/abnormality that gives rise to this is different in the individual. Can be from chronic incoordination of swallowing mechanism, or spasm of esophageal musculature.
