Background: Thyroid disorders requiring surgical intervention are uncommon in children but represent a unique spectrum of diseases characterized by higher malignancy rates, distinct molecular profiles, and specific perioperative considerations compared with adults.

Objective: To review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, surgical indications, operative management, complications, and outcomes of pediatric thyroid…

Antithyroid Drugs (ATDs) - principally carbimazole, methimazole (thiamazole), and propylthiouracil - remain central to the treatment of hyperthyroidism but can rarely cause idiosyncratic neutropenia and agranulocytosis, a potentially fatal adverse drug reaction. Agranulocytosis is conventionally defined by an absolute neutrophil count below 0.5×109/L and may develop abruptly after a previously normal blood count. This Seminar reviews contemporary epidemiology, drug- and patient-related risk…

Introduction: Subtotal thyroidectomy preserves glandular tissue intending to maintain hormonal autonomy; however, the viability of the remnant is unpredictable, complicating postoperative pharmacological management.

Objective: To analyze available scientific evidence on the indication, dosage regimens, and clinical outcomes of levothyroxine use in patients undergoing subtotal thyroidectomy.

Methodology: A systematic…

Anatomical anomalies of the thyroid gland are very important for the management of thyroidectomy operations. The thyroid gland consists of two lobes and the isthmus connecting them. The absence of the isthmus of the thyroid gland is defined as thyroid isthmus agenesis and very few cases have been reported in the literature. In the present case, isthmus agenesis was detected during thyroidectomy operation performed due to suspicion of malignancy. Caution should be exercised in terms of…

Thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, are among the most prevalent endocrine conditions in India, often leading to persistent psychological symptoms such as perceived stress. While pharmacological treatments address hormonal imbalances, many patients continue to experience emotional distress. This study investigates the relationship between physical activity and perceived stress among Indian thyroid patients, aiming to explore the potential of exercise as a…
