  • Title: Multinodular goiter compressing the trachea following open heart surgery.
    Author: Sajja LR, Mannam GC, Sompalli S, Simhadri CS, Hasan A.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2006 Oct; 14(5):416-7. PubMed ID: 17005891.
    Abstract:
    Acute hemorrhage into an adenomatous goiter following cardiac surgery is a rare cause of acute upper airway obstruction. We report an unusual presentation of respiratory distress in a patient with goiter recovering from open heart surgery, which was successfully treated by left hemithyroidectomy. A mandatory evaluation of the upper trachea in patients with long-standing benign goiter is recommended prior to cardiac surgery.
