ABSTRACT

Relato de caso de bócio mergulhante (BM) em idosa com longa história de bócio nodular tóxico (BNT) e que evoluiu com insuficiência respiratória aguda enquanto aguardava cirurgia eletiva para extirpação do bócio. A evolução das complicações respiratórias dessa paciente sugere que o tratamento cirúrgico do BM em idosos deveria ser feito o mais breve possível, após o surgimento de sintomatologia respiratória, para evitar complicações.
