Assessment and management of cervico-mediastinal goiter

Abstract: Cervico-mediastinal goiter is a particular entity from the point of view of thyroid surgery. Its volume, hardness and intrathoracic extension require the surgeon to adapt technique and perform a painstaking preoperative work-up, so as to draw up fully-fledged plan. CT is now indispensable, to anticipate risks and determine whether sternotomy is needed. Surgery seems to induce more postoperative complications than in conventional surgery, although they can be reduced by retrograde dissection of the inferior lar… Show more

“…Negative thoracic pressure, gravity and the potential space in the thoracic cavity cause goiters to extend to the thoracic cavity. The posterior mediastinal extension is usually right-sided because of the presence of the aortic arch and pulmonary vessels on the left side obstructing the path of descent [5]. Machoda et al reported that giant mediastinal goiters, which excised from left to right via the transcervical and lateral thoracotomy [4].…”

“…El BIT es una patología que puede clasificarse en dos diferentes subtipos, según su origen (1,4,12):  Bocio endotorácico o primario: es un subtipo raro, que corresponde únicamente al 0.2-1% del total de casos de BIT. Se puede definir como el desarrollo de un tejido tiroideo ectópico, producto de una migración anómala del primordio tiroideo, que no muestra continuidad con la glándula tiroides de la región cervical y que recibe vascularización torácica de arterias tales como la torácica interna y la aorta, entre otras.…”

“…(6,14). Clásicamente, se ha descrito el síndrome de vena cava superior, sin embargo, se encuentra presente sólo en un 5 a un 9% de los pacientes (1,2,(6)(7)(8)12). Esto puede ser valorado a través de la maniobra de Pemberton, el cual consiste en solicitarle al paciente que eleve ambos miembros superiores por encima de la cabeza por unos minutos, y se considera positiva si se presenta e590 rubefacción facial sugestivo de compresión vascular.…”
