Treatment of hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules by percutaneous ethanol injection
BACKGROUND: Autonomous thyroid nodules can be treated by a variety of methods. We assessed the efficacy of percutaneous ethanol injection in treating autonomous thyroid nodules. METHODS: 35 patients diagnosed by technetium-99 scanning with hyperfunctioning nodules and suppressed sensitive TSH (sTSH) were given sterile ethanol injections under ultrasound guidance. 29 patients had clinical and bi...
متن کاملPercutaneous Ethanol Injection in Thyroid Nodules: Preliminary Results
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) was first introduced for treatment of thyroid nodules in 1990 (1). The procedure has previously been used for treatment of several benign and malignant conditions, including parathyroid and hepatic tumors (2). Özdemir and co-workers were the first researchers who performed PEI in Turkey with successful results (3). This paper reports our center’s initial exp...
متن کاملA Rare Complication following Thyroid Percutaneous Ethanol Injection: Plummer Adenoma
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) is a technique used only for benign thyroid nodules, cystic or mixed cystic-solid with a large fluid component. It is a quite low-cost, safe, and outpatient method of treatment. Rare and severe complications have been described after PEI: jugular vein thrombosis and severe ethanol toxic necrosis of the larynx combined with necrotic dermatitis. Moreover, only...
متن کاملUltrasonography Guided Percutaneous Ethanol Injection Therapy for Benign Thyroid Nodules: Preliminary Experience
Thyroid nodule is one of the most frequently encountered thyroid diseases. High resolution ultrasonography (US) is sensitive and capable of detecting detailed anatomy of thyroid including nodules. Tc-99m thyroid scan is a well established and inexpensive imaging modality for many thyroid disorders. The aim of this study was to detect the effectiveness of percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (...
متن کاملOutcome, Pain Perception, and Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients Submitted to Percutaneous Ethanol Injection for Simple Thyroid Cysts
Thyroid cysts are usually benign lesions that when voluminous may induce cosmetic concerns or local discomfort. Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) has been demonstrated to be effective for shrinkage of such cysts. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the efficacy, pain perception, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients submitted to PEI for pure cystic lesions. We reviewed ...
