Abstract

Background: Traumatic expanding intrathyroidal hematoma is rare and can be clinically obscured, leading to delayed diagnosis and potential airway compromise. Identification and prompt intervention are paramount to survival.

Methods: Patient presented to the emergency department as a modified trauma without signs of respiratory distress or enlarging neck circumference. Comprehensive trauma imaging identified the thyroid pathology prompting otolaryngology involvement.

Results: Rapid operating room arrangement allowed for prevention of airway compromise, straight forward intubation, and resolution of thyroid pathology prior to clinical decompensation.

Conclusions: We present an unusual case of traumatic thyroid hematoma in which the bleeding source was contained within the thyroid capsule; intubation and surgical intervention resolved the airway and thyroid pathology. Trauma-indicated imaging allowed for identification in a clinically obscured pathology.

外伤性甲状腺内血肿1例报告及文献复习。

背景：外伤性扩张性甲状腺内血肿是罕见的，临床上容易混淆，导致诊断延误和潜在的气道损害。识别和及时干预对生存至关重要。方法：患者作为改良性创伤就诊于急诊科，无呼吸窘迫或颈围增大的症状。综合创伤影像发现甲状腺病理提示耳鼻喉受累。结果：快速的手术室安排可以防止气道损害，直接插管，并在临床失代偿之前解决甲状腺病理。结论：我们报告了一个罕见的外伤性甲状腺血肿病例，其中出血源位于甲状腺囊内；插管和手术干预解决了气道和甲状腺病理。创伤指示成像允许在临床上模糊的病理识别。
