Subacute thyroiditis is often unrecognized and patients may be treated for pharyngitis, laryngitis, otitis media or similar disorders connected with otolaryngology. It is conceivable that these patients may seek treatment in ENT departments. The difficulties encountered in making a correct diagnosis are illustrated here on the basis of 12 consecutive cases. Eight of these patients were initially misdiagnosed resulting in useless therapy. Subacute thyroiditis is a self-limiting illness, and permanent myxoedema is rare. Nevertheless, one case with this sequela is reported.
亚急性甲状腺炎常常未被识别，患者可能因咽炎、喉炎、中耳炎或与耳鼻喉科相关的类似疾病而接受治疗。可以想象，这些患者可能会在耳鼻喉科就诊。在此根据连续12例病例阐述了正确诊断所遇到的困难。其中8例患者最初被误诊，导致治疗无效。亚急性甲状腺炎是一种自限性疾病，永久性黏液性水肿很少见。然而，本文报告了1例出现这种后遗症的病例。
