Sudden death is probably the most important challenge of modern cardiology. Not only because of the large number of deaths it causes, but also because of the social impact it causes. It is currently a major public health problem worldwide. The objective of this study is to present a near-clinic of sudden death in a 14-yearold female patient with a history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and corset use due to scoliosis who was brought to the emergency room after having suffered a sudden loss of consciousness. In the emergency room, cardiorespiratory arrest is diagnosed and cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed immediately, not recovering the patient. The enormous challenge posed by the SDC in this century, justified by an increase in the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in the coming decades worldwide, makes it necessary to review the current approaches in its approach.

Endothoracic goiter is rare and mostly affects women between the fifth and sixth decade of life. A case of endothoracic goiter is presented in a 63-year-old man who smoked and presented with cough, dyspnea, and easy fatigue. A chest X-ray and CT scan were performed and an endothoracic goiter was diagnosed. A medial sternotomy with total thyroidectomy was performed. The biopsy revealed Thyroid Nodular Hyperplasia with degenerative changes. The patient evolved favorably. The accurate diagnosis helped effective treatment and satisfactory evolution of the patient. Knowledge about this disease contributes to better management of it.
