{"pk":17077,"title":"Thyroid Gland Hematoma After Blunt Neck Trauma","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Hemorrhage of a previously normal thyroid gland as a result of blunt trauma is a very rare condition. We report a case of blunt trauma that caused acute hemorrhage into the thyroid gland and presented with hoarseness. The diagnosis of thyroid gland hematoma was made with a combination of fiberoptic laryngoscopy, cervical computed tomography, and carotid angiography. The patient was treated conservatively, had a favorable course without further complications, and was discharged four days after admission.\n\n\n[West J Emerg Med. 2009;10(4):247-249.]","language":"en","license":{"name":"none","short_name":"none","text":"","url":"http://google.com"},"keywords":[{"word":"Blunt neck trauma  thyroid hematoma  conservative treatment"},{"word":"Emergency Medicine"}],"section":"Article","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2r7572tr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Baris","middle_name":"","last_name":"Saylam","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ankara Numune Teaching and Research Hospital, Department of 3rd Surgery","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Bulent","middle_name":"","last_name":"Comcali","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ankara Numune Teaching and Research Hospital, Department of 3rd Surgery","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Mehmet","middle_name":"Vasfi","last_name":"Ozer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ankara Numune Teaching and Research Hospital, Department of 3rd Surgery","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Faruk","middle_name":"","last_name":"Coskun","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ankara Numune Teaching and Research Hospital, Department of 3rd Surgery","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2009-05-20T03:00:00-04:00","date_accepted":"2009-05-20T03:00:00-04:00","date_published":"2009-11-01T02:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/westjem/article/17077/galley/8632/download/"}]}
