Abstract
In endocrine clinics, thyroid diseases typically manifest as nodules, hormonal imbalance, and gland enlargement. From the standpoint of otorhinolaryngology (ENT), however, there is a wider range of symptoms, including changes in voice, difficulty swallowing, airway compromise, ear-throat referred symptoms, and pharyngolaryngeal sequelae following surgery. The first people to notice these nuances are frequently ENT doctors. This review highlights diagnostic and perioperative factors, describes the ENT-relevant aspects of thyroid disease, and suggests a multidisciplinary paradigm for thyroid therapy that goes beyond the visible neck mass.
