Abstract
Tracheal collapse after thyroidectomy is uncommon; when it occurs, complete airway obstruction is often sudden, unexpected and fatal. In this paper a patient treated for tracheal collapse by tracheostomy and followed up for 1 year is described and, from a review of the literature, a further 9 cases are presented. The aetiology of the condition, the patient at risk and the technique of management are discussed.Keywords
