Les maladies de la thyroïde sont répandues. Environ 10 % de la population adulte développe un goitre, 4 % des individus ont un nodule thyroïdien palpable (40 à 60 % des adultes explorés en échographie sont porteurs de nodules uniques ou multiples). Presque tous les sujets constituent au fil des décennies des nodules thyroïdiens occultes, qui ne sont détectables que par l'échographie. Les hyperthyroïdies et hypothyroïdies touchent 1 à 2 % des individus, mais les dysfonctionnements thyroïdiens infracliniques (marqués uniquement par des modifications du taux de TSH) sont bien plus fréquents. Face à la diversité de ces situations, il est donc indispensable de faire une évaluation précise et de distinguer soigneusement les cas qui ne nécessitent pas de traitement de ceux qui justifient une surveillance ou la mise en place d'un traitement.

Cette seconde édition, entièrement actualisée, présente les différentes méthodes d'investigation (dosages biologiques, échographie, scintigraphie, cytologie), puis aborde les différentes affections (nodules, goitres simples et nodulaires, cancers de la thyroïde, thyroïdites, maladie de Basedow, hyper- et hypothyroïdies, dysthyroïdies infracliniques). L'ouvrage développe ensuite les situations particulières et les principes de la prise en charge chirurgicale. Cette deuxième édition est enrichie de nouveaux chapitres sur l'orbitopathie basedowienne, les relations entre la thyroïde et l'environnement ainsi que sur les états de sensibilité réduite aux hormones thyroïdiennes.

Cet ouvrage constitue donc un guide indispensable pour tous les praticiens confrontés, dans leur pratique clinique, à la découverte et à la prise en charge d'une maladie thyroïdienne.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the pharynx and addresses advances in the treatment of pharyngeal disorders, including surgery and reconstruction techniques.
