Core Tip	A rare case of mid-esophageal diverticulum with diffuse esophageal spasm is described. The case highlights the importance of considering diffuse esophageal spasm when treating mid-esophageal diverticulum. Diagnostic tools such as upper gastrointestinal pan-glucosamine contrast, esophageal manometry, chest computed tomography, and gastroscopy can be helpful. Submucosal tunneling endoscopic septum division + per-oral endoscopic myotomy is an effective treatment approach for this condition.
