A diverticulum is medical term for an outpouching of a hollow structure in the body. It usually implies that the structure is not normally present, i.e. pathological. However, embryologically, some normal structures begin development as a diverticulum arising off of another structure.An alphabetical listing of some frequently encountered diverticula follows: (From the Wikpedia article Diverticulum.)
