Huge goitor can lead to tracheal compression and hence difficulty in intubation. This is compounded by severe obesity. Failed tracheal intubation in difficult intubation is a serious event that may lead to increased patient morbidity and mortality. Current intubation rescue techniques and
Objective The study's objective was to evaluate the thyroid parameters in obese insulin-resistant patients with euthyroid diffuse or nodular goiter, following Metformin treatment. Patients and methods The study was experimental, open, and prospective. Fifty-three patients aged 18-68 were enrolled
A total of 120 children at the age of 10-15 years presenting with class I-II obesity were available for observation. Fifty two of them suffered diffuse non-toxic goiter. The combination of obesity and diffuse non-toxic goiter was associated with excessive body weight, insulin resistance,
A 59-year-old woman with a body mass index of 30 and an edematous, tender goiter was scheduled for subtotal thyroidectomy. She had a history of dyspnea, cough, hoarseness, sleep disturbance in the supine position, difficulty in expelling sputum, and inability to rotate her neck to the left. Chest CT
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the prevalence of goiter and nodular disease in patients with class III obesity, and to correlate results with serum leptin levels and insulin resistance (IR) parameters.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was performed to assess thyroid ultrasound (US) patterns, HOMA-IR, serum
Substernal multinodular goiter is a common entity that may cause life threatening pressure symptoms. We report the case of a patient with tracheal stenosis due to multinodular goiter and discuss various treatment options.
Over the past decades, several definitions and classifications of cervico-mediastinal goiters have been proposed. We analyzed and discussed the clinical presentation, the diagnostic procedures and the surgical technique in relation to post-operative complications and long-term results BACKGROUND
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome has been linked to obesity, nasal obstruction and adenotonsillar hypertrophy, but rarely to large thyroid goitres.
OBJECTIVE
To study the possible association between multinodular retrolaryngo-pharyngeal or retrosternal goitres and obstructive sleep
As an intrathoracic goiter expands, it causes airway stenosis and phrenic nerve paralysis, and slight respiratory stimuli can trigger sudden life-threatening hypoventilation. A 78-year-old obese woman with a large intrathoracic goiter was found unconscious with agonal breathing in her room early in
