Amiodarone can cause toxic multinodular goiter, requiring near total thyroidectomy for symptom control. Post-surgery, a compressive cervical hematoma necessitated an emergent tracheostomy for airway management.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Cardiology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Amiodarone, an antiarrhythmic drug, is known for its potential to induce thyroid dysfunction.
  • Toxic multinodular goiter (TMG) is a significant endocrine condition requiring careful management.
  • Longstanding amiodarone administration presents unique challenges in managing TMG.

Purpose:

  • To report a case of amiodarone-induced toxic multinodular goiter.
  • To describe the surgical management of TMG in a patient on amiodarone therapy.
  • To highlight the management of a post-operative complication.

Summary:

  • A patient developed toxic multinodular goiter due to prolonged amiodarone use.
  • Near total thyroidectomy was performed to control hyperthyroid symptoms without discontinuing amiodarone.

  • A compressive cervical hematoma occurred post-operatively, requiring an emergent tracheostomy.

    • Impact:

    • This case underscores the importance of monitoring thyroid function in patients receiving amiodarone.
    • It demonstrates the feasibility of surgical intervention for amiodarone-induced TMG.
    • Highlights the critical role of prompt airway management in surgical complications.
