    Abstract:
    The diverticula of the lateral wall of the pharynx are called pharyngoceles. We present a case of a 71-year old male in whom we discovered, by chance, a bilateral pharyngocele. Given their scarcity, we review the characteristics of the process, highlighting the relevance of the oesophagopharingeal barium swallow. Finally, we describe two possible anatomical locations of the herniated sac.
