[Extensive cervical hematoma complicating multinodular goiter. Apropos of a case]

The massive hemorrhagic accidents of multinodular goiter are very rare, implicating the vital prognosis through an airway obstruction by tracheal compression. To illustrate this situation, the authors present an original case with a large cervico-thoracic hematoma without any respiratory's difficulties. The serious evolutive potential of that situation in spite the unworrying aspect of the patient, bring them to operate in delayed emergency.
