Zenker's diverticulum develops when the muscle between the throat and esophagus, known as the cricopharyngeus muscle, over-tightens, causing the throat above it to pouch out. Overtime, the pouch can enlarge as the muscles below it tighten excessively. Food can catch in this pouch or it can cause an obstruction. It can also make it difficult to take medications – particularly pills, which could get caught. 2, record 1, English, - Zenker%27s%20diverticulum

On ne peut guère tenir compte de la nature de la dysphonie qui se rencontre dans la quasi-totalité des affections organiques ou fonctionnelles du larynx. La discussion porte sur l'immobilité d’une corde découverte lors de l'endoscopie. On éliminera ainsi facilement l'aphonie pithiatique. L'anamnèse permet de retrouver souvent un traumatisme émotionnel, un stress, un conflit affectif, une situation dépressive. L'abolition de la voix chuchotée et de la toux volontaire contraste avec la parfaite conservation de la mobilité laryngée lors de l'inspiration, alors que l'adduction est manifeste lors des efforts de toux. 1, record 6, French, - voix%20chuchot%C3%A9e
