Abstract
Neck surgery carries a risk that the patient will develop postoperative thyroiditis as a result of the surgical procedure. Surgery-induced thyroiditis can manifest in a mild form as serum hyperthyroxinemia or in a more severe form as clinical hyperthyroidism. We describe a case of surgery-induced thyroiditis and review the very limited literature on this subject.Entities:
