Retrosternal goitre enlargement can cause compression of several mediastinal structures, especially the trachea and the superior vena cava. Retrosternal goitre as a cause of superior vena cava syndrome is a rare occurrence. We report the case of a middle aged man that underwent surgery Negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is an uncommon but life-threatening complication of acute or chronic upper airway obstruction; however, there are few reports of NPPE after giant goiter resection. We report a case with severe NPPE induced by the resection of a mediastinum thyroid goiter. The
We describe a 35-year-old woman who developed pulmonary edema at 38 weeks of pregnancy as a result of upper airway obstruction caused by a progressively enlarging euthyroid goiter.
OBJECTIVE
We report an unusual case of upper airway compromise in a patient with Graves' disease. We speculate that this complication may be due, in part, to poorly controlled hyperthyroidism.
METHODS
A 26-yr-old female suffering from Graves' disease underwent a total thyroidectomy. Awake fibreoptic
BACKGROUND
Substernal goiter may rarely cause superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) owing to venous compression, and cause acute respiratory failure due to tracheal compression. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) may rarely occur when there is a narrowing of upper airway by edema and vascular
Fetal thyroid dysfunction is a well-recognized cause of secondary cardiac disease, including arrhythmias and hydrops fetalis, but has not previously been reported to mimic structural heart disease. We describe a case of fetal goiter presenting as suspected anomalous pulmonary venous connection and
OBJECTIVE
Reoperative thyroid surgery is an uncommon operation associated with a higher complication rate; we reviewed our series of patients on whom reoperative thyroid surgery was performed.
METHODS
106 patients had a thyroid reoperation for recurrent multinodular goiter (93 patients), recurrent
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of radioiondine therapy in the treatment of Graves hyperthyroidism with large goiter.
METHODS
A total of 128 patients with Graves; hyperthyroidism with large goiter (thyroid weight>70 g) as the study group were treated with radioiondine,
Among 1,000 operated goiters excluding hyperthyroidism, 45 were compressives (4,5%). Epidemiologic factors were elderly patients, ancient unoperated goiters and recidivism of formerly operated goiters. 1. Prognosis is not hopeless since 60% of compressive goiters were benign. On the other hand, the
