The Authors, after having reviewed substernal goitre natural history, report their five-year experience with this disease, underlining clinical features, therapeutic management, positive results. They examine the several proposed classifications and stress haemodynamic and respiratory complications. At last they shortly discuss about diagnostics and, mainly, about correct therapeutic approach which has two aims to resolve the symptomatology and to prevent relapses.
