Abstrakt: We describe a rare case of retrosternal goiter that developed on the left side of the trachea, squeezing between the trachea and the left supra-aortic vessels, and causing signs of compression and acute left upper limb ischemia in a 35-year-old woman. Her symptoms disappeared after an emergency total thyroidectomy was performed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
