It was a pouch which is a pocket in the throat. It may cause difficulty in swallowing, sensation of a lump in the throat and troublesome regurgitation of food. Food may become lodged in the pouch.
Seem to remember the first ENT did not see it but some time later another did. Over time it fixed itself.
