Abstract
Euthyroid multinodular goiters are common in some geographic areas, and they can cause compressive symptoms. We present a case of a giant compressive goiter. Surgical excision is the best treatment to avoid the gravity of complete airway obstruction. however in some situations it seems difficult requiring a high level of expertise and can lead to serious complications.
