Fascial Anatomy of the Thyroid Region: A Retropharyngeal Goiter Without Extension Into the Retropharyngeal Space
Key Points
To explore the fascial anatomy of the thyroid region and the characteristics of a retropharyngeal goiter.
Analyzed intraoperative photographs from a patient with thyroid issues.
Focused on the presence of a retropharyngeal goiter without extension into surrounding spaces.
The retropharyngeal goiter was observed to be non-invasive.
No extension into the retropharyngeal space was noted during the surgery.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Intraoperative photographs in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma demonstrated that the non‐invasive retropharyngeal goiter did not extend into the retropharyngeal space.
