Compressive goitre is a public health emergency due to the risk of asphyxia caused by compression of bronchial tree. We report the case of a 48-year-old female patient presenting to the emergency department with laryngeal dyspnea due to compressive goitre. We conducted a study and a literature review focusing on the clinical and radiological features of compressive goitre and different treatment options. The management of a patient with compressive goitre is difficult and must be rapid, due to the high risk of asphyxia. It requires a multidisciplinary approach of an experienced surgical team, including ENT and thoracic surgeons.
由于支气管树受压导致窒息风险，压迫性甲状腺肿是一种公共卫生紧急情况。我们报告了一例48岁女性患者，因压迫性甲状腺肿导致喉喘鸣而就诊于急诊科。我们进行了一项研究并进行了文献综述，重点关注压迫性甲状腺肿的临床和放射学特征以及不同的治疗选择。由于窒息风险高，压迫性甲状腺肿患者的管理困难且必须迅速。这需要由经验丰富的外科团队采取多学科方法，包括耳鼻喉科和胸外科医生。
