Abstract
An endemic goitre is one in which more than 10% of the population has thyroid enlargement. Thyroid gland diseases, particularly multinodular goitre caused by iodine insufficiency, are common in India. Present study aimed to assess the clinical pattern, presentation and management of multi nodular goitre. The present prospective observational study was conducted at Trr institute of medical sciences, Patancheru for the period of one year during June 2021 to May2022, among patients attending surgery department with evidence of multinodular goitre. The patients were included after obtaining the informed consent, and underwent clinical evaluation. The patients diagnosed with MNG were subjected to investigations and surgical management. Data were entered in excel sheet and analysed using SPSS v26.0 operating on windows 10. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: A total of 100 patients with multinodular goitre were included with 86% female patients and 14% male patients. The Chief complaint in our patients (100 %) was swelling in front of the neck. There was family history of goitre in 4 cases. There were four reports of retrosternal goitre. On FNAC, the majority of the patients (78%) had colloid goitre. With a complication incidence of 18%, 32 patients received complete or near total thyroidectomy while the remaining 68 instances got partial thyroidectomy. In our study, there was no death recorded. MNG is the commonest thyroid disease in our hospital, more common in females, with chief complaints of swelling in front of the neck. FNAC is very useful in the diagnosis and management of MNG.
