Abstract

Severe respiratory distress induced by airway obstruction requires prompt attention for restoration of normal function in the airway passage. A large benign thyroid goiter that compresses the trachea is a rare occurrence. Emergency thyroidectomy with dyspnea can increase the chance of surgical complications in such cases. Here, a rare case of dyspnea induced by a large goiter is reported and a safe and effective therapeutic strategy for treatment was demonstrated. First, a self‑expandable metal stent was placed to relieve airway obstruction. A week later, total thyroidectomy under general anesthesia was performed. After 3 months, the metal stent was surgically removed. The findings of the present case report demonstrated that life‑threatening airway obstruction secondary to benign goiter could be effectively treated by placing an airway stent, followed by thyroidectomy.
