“…Thus, it remains plausible that an unusual physical activity may have had a triggering role. Extraneous traumas have been associated with acute increases in glandular size as a result of intrathyroidal hemorrhages (10,11). To the best of our knowledge, similar cases have not yet been reported, although less dramatic increases in goiter size can frequently be observed during pregnancy, especially in areas with moderate to severe iodine deficiency (12,13).…”

This case report illustrates an exceptional clinical situation in which a pregnant woman abruptly presented, at 5 months' gestation, with major swelling of the thyroid gland that led to respiratory symptoms and emergency hospitalization. The medical condition was shown to be caused by acute intrathyroidal hemorrhage within a preexisting-albeit until then unnoticed-multinodular goiter. The cause of the intrathyroidal hemorrhage could not be firmly delineated, although it remains possible that an unusual extraneous cause constituted a "trauma" that triggered this rare medical condition.
