    Journal: Tunis Med; 2015 Mar; 93(3):187-9. PubMed ID: 26367410.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Emergency physicians frequently encounter patients with thyroid disease. However, it is unusual for these thyroid disorders to create acute, life-threatening situations. Critical airway compression attributable to benign thyroid enlargement may occur suddenly and require urgent treatment. CASE REPORT: We report a case of pregnant women who was admitted for compressive goiter with laryngeal dyspnea, which required emergency total thyroidectomy. CONCLUSION: Urgent thyroidectomy in pregnant women can be performed if we respect the precautions.
