    Four patients with autonomous mediastinal goitre underwent surgery for substernal goitre. Diagnosis utilized clinical exams, mediastinal scans, and CT scans. Surgical treatment is essential due to compression risks, with cervical or sternotomy approaches used.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Context:

    • Substernal goiters can extend into the mediastinum, posing diagnostic and surgical challenges.
    • Autonomous mediastinal goiters represent a specific subset requiring careful evaluation.
    • Surgical management is indicated due to the risk of mediastinal compression.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the diagnosis and surgical management of autonomous mediastinal goiters.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different surgical approaches for substernal goiters.

    Summary:

    • A retrospective analysis of 185 substernal goiter surgeries identified four cases of autonomous mediastinal goiter.
    • Diagnostic methods included clinical examination, mediastinal scanning, and computed tomography (CT) scans.

  • Surgical treatment was performed via cervical approach or combined cervicotomy and partial upper sternotomy.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of advanced imaging like CT scans for diagnosing mediastinal goiters.
    • Demonstrates the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive surgical techniques for substernal goiter removal.
    • Contributes to understanding the surgical outcomes for a rare presentation of substernal goiter.
