Neonatal goiter is a rare cause of a neck mass and stridor. Often, the diagnosis can be made on clinical grounds exclusively, but there may be times when a neck mass becomes a diagnostic dilemma. There are several different imaging modalities available to the clinician that are useful in the rapid diagnosis of neonatal goiter. Presently, however, there is no definite algorithm for the workup of a neonatal neck mass. The two cases presented here demonstrate the imaging findings of plain film radiography, sonography, scintigraphy, and CT in neonatal goiter.
The nursing care of patients with thyroid problems requires an understanding of the disease process so that a through history is obtained to facilitate diagnosis, treatment, and patient education. To understand the pathophysiology of thyroid diseases, thyroid hormone synthesis, transport, and metabolic effects, as well as the regulation of thyroid function by the hypothalamic-pituitary feedback system have been reviewed. Frequently used thyroid laboratory measures and diagnostic tests are outlined herein. The focus of this article has been the assessment and management of thyroid diseases commonly encountered in an ambulatory setting: goiter, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, and thyroid nodules. Proper assessment and management of patients with thyroid disorders are cost effective and have significant impact on the health and well-being of our patients.
