Abstract

Benign cervical goiters may rarely cause acute airway obstruction. We report a 64 year-old woman who presented with acute dispnea due to a giant benign multinodular goiter. She refused to have surgical or medical treatment because of her traditional beliefs. In this paper, possible treatment modalities for benign multinodular goiters which cause acute airway obstruction are discussed. The importance of education of the public in awareness of health problems, also pertaining to complications of large goiters is stressed.

Özet

Benign servikal guatr nadiren akut hava yolu obstrüksiyonuna neden olur. Dev benign multinodüler guatra bağlı akut hava yolu obstrüksiyonu gelişmiş 64 yaşındaki kadın olgu, geleneksel bazı batıl inanışlar nedeniyle cerrahi veya medikal tedaviyi kabul etmemiştir. Sunulan olgu ışığında bu makalede, multinodüler guatr sebebiyle akut hava yolu obstrüksiyonu gelişmiş hastalarda uygulanabilecek olası tedaviler ve özellikle bu tedavi modalitelerinin artmış komplikasyonlarından korunmada halkın bilinçlendirilmesinin önemi irdelendi.
