Abstrakt:	Mid-esophageal diverticulum is a rare disease, formed by the traction caused by inflamed bronchial lymph nodes or by pulsion induced by motility disorder. We herein report a case of mid-esophageal diverticular bleeding in a patient with kyphosis who was taking an anti-platelet drug. She was successfully treated with endoscopic hemostasis. An 80-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with hematemesis. She had kyphosis and was taking dipyridamole for her chest pain. Emergent upper endoscopy revealed bleeding from a mid-esophageal diverticulum; hemostasis was achieved via clipping. Mid-esophageal diverticula can cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding. An endoscopic examination and hemostasis are effective treatments.
