lntrathoracic Goiter with Hyperthyroidism, Tracheal Compression, Superior Vena Cava Syndrome, and Homer’s Syndmome*

I svcs = superior vena cava syndrome I ntrathoracic extension of goiters usually causes a benign neck and mediastinal mass with morbid potential. ‘ These goiters can develop slowly and patients may be asymptomatic for many years. They may have some problems about diagnosis and anesthesia during surgery.’2 We present a patient with intrathoracic goiter complicated by hyperthyroidism, tracheal compression, SVCS, and Homer’s syndrome. We believe that this is the first published case with all of these findings.
