Abstract
Resumen: El crecimiento de la glándula tiroidea puede causar compresión de varias estructuras del mediastino, incluyendo la tráquea. La compresión traqueal rara vez produce compromiso respiratorio y excepcionalmente insuficiencia respiratoria aguda. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 77 años de edad con clínica de compromiso respiratorio, que en cuestión de horas requirió intubación traqueal y asistencia respiratoria. La exploración física y la tomografía computarizada fueron decisivos para el diagnóstico, y el tratamiento fue la tiroidectomía total. Abstract: The extension of a thyroid goiter can cause compression of several mediastinal structures including the trachea. Tracheal compression may rarely lead to respiratory compromise, and exceptionally acute respiratory failure We report the case of a 77 years old woman who had progressive worsening in her respiratory status within hours and required tracheal intubation and respiratory support. Physical examination and computed tomography were decisive for the diagnosis and the treatment was total thyroidectomy.
