Case histories are reported of three patients who had large retrosternal goitres which were responsible for significant abnormalities of the airway. Computerised axial tomography demonstrated the exact anatomy. The site of tracheal compression was shown and accurate measurements of the diameter of the trachea at its narrowest point were made. This information was useful when the management of the patient was planned.
报告了三例患有巨大胸骨后甲状腺肿的患者病例，这些甲状腺肿导致了明显的气道异常。计算机断层扫描显示了确切的解剖结构。显示了气管受压的部位，并对气管最窄处的直径进行了精确测量。这些信息在规划患者的治疗方案时很有用。
