[Sonography of the thyroid gland in surgery]. 1987

W Thaler

50 patients were sonographically examined by the surgeon prior to thyroidectomy. The sonographic findings were then compared with the intra-operative situation and with the goitre removed. Complete agreement was recorded from 80 per cent of the cases. Sonography was found to be superior to traditional thyroid diagnosis for its higher accuracy in indicating the positions of adenomas, cysts, and calcareous nodules as well as the relationship between goitre and vessels of the neck.

D006042	Goiter	Enlargement of the THYROID GLAND that may increase from about 20 grams to hundreds of grams in human adults. Goiter is observed in individuals with normal thyroid function (euthyroidism), thyroid deficiency (HYPOTHYROIDISM), or hormone overproduction (HYPERTHYROIDISM). Goiter may be congenital or acquired, sporadic or endemic (GOITER, ENDEMIC).	Goiters
D006111	Graves Disease	A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
