ABSTRACT

Thyroid abscess is an infrequent, potentially life-threatening condition. It accounts for 0,1 to 0,7 percent of thyroid pathology, usually occurring in patients with preexisting disease of the gland or more commonly, associated to local anatomical defects, such pyriform sinus fistulae. Three cases of thyroid abscess in children are presented, in which no bacterial etiology was confirmed. Intravenous antibiotics were used, cefotaxime, cloxacillin or clindamicin. Recurrence was confirmed in 2 of them, and a pyriform sinus fistulae was demostrated by esophagogram.


El absceso tiroideo es un cuadro infrecuente y una emergencia endocrina potencialmente fatal. Representa el 0,1 a 0,7 por ciento de las patologías tiroideas. Habitualmente se produce en pacientes con patología preexistente de la glándula o más frecuentemente, asociado a defectos anatómicos locales, como una fístula del seno piriforme. Presentamos 3 casos de abscesos tiroideos en escolares. Recibieron tratamiento antibiótico endovenoso de amplio espectro, a pesar de lo cual dos de ellos recidivaron precozmente. En dos de ellos se demostró una fístula del seno piriforme con esofagograma que se manejó quirúrgicamente.
