The common type of diverticula (Zenker's) is not actually of esophageal origin, but arises from the relatively bare triangle of mucosa located between the inferior pharyngeal constrictors and the cricopharyngeal muscle (Killian's triangle). Zenker's diverticula are 10 times more common than other esophageal diverticula. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
