Core Tip	Gastric diverticula are infrequent anatomic abnormalities and are usually asymptomatic. They present with variable symptoms. Although most symptomatic patients are diagnosed during evaluation of vague epigastric discomfort, severe complications, including perforation and hemorrhage, may occur. We report a successful laparoscopic approach as a minimally invasive solution to a symptomatic gastric diverticula with a brief literature review on this rare condition. Knowledge of the pitfalls in diagnosis and treatment of a gastric diverticulum are essential for successful and complete relief of symptoms.
