Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acute suppurative thyroiditis is rare, infectious thyroid disorder because the thyroid gland is resistant to infection. We report a 26-year-old man with acute suppurative thyroiditis due to a pyriform sinus fistula. He presented with anterior neck swelling and tenderness for 2 weeks. Antibiotic treatment failed to improve his symptoms and signs. Diagnosis was made by bariums studies, computed tomography scan and endoscopic examination. The pyriform siuns fistula was successfully treated by chemical cauterization, partial thyroidectomy and ligation of fistula tract.
