| Popis: | Intrathoracic goitres may cause a variety of symptoms caused by compression of the trachea, neural structures, blood vessels and the oesophagus. A case history is presented of a patient with a recurrent goitre after subtotal thyroidectomy who displayed partial unilateral phrenic paralysis, which subsided after a second subtotal thyroidectomy. Compression of the phrenic nerve appears to be a very rare manifestation of an intrathoracic goitre and thus far has never been reported. |
