Title: | Cervical pneumatocoele following total thyroidectomy. | Austin Authors: | Liu, D S H;Jayaweera, S;Fleming, W R | Affiliation: | Austin Hospital, Department of Surgery, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia | Issue Date: | 1-Mar-2012 | Publication information: | Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England; 94(2): e74-5 | Abstract: | Cervical pneumatocoele following thyroidectomy is rare. Urgent surgical intervention is necessary in the setting of widespread tissue emphysema and respiratory embarrassment. We describe a patient with a large pneumatocoele presenting six weeks after a total thyroidectomy who was managed successfully without surgical re-exploration. We also discuss the aetiology of cervical pneumatocoele as well as the potential indications for operative versus conservative management. | Gov't Doc #: | 22391357 | URI: | http://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11454 | DOI: | 10.1308/003588412X13171221501104 | Journal: | Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22391357 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Female Humans Neck Subcutaneous Emphysema.etiology Thyroid Nodule.surgery Thyroidectomy.adverse effects Thyroiditis, Autoimmune.surgery |
