“…At conventional B-mode US and CDI multinodular goiter frequently appears as thyroid enlargement with focal or diffuse replacement of the thyroid parenchyma by strictly adjacent, sometimes, not distinctive, variable echo structure nodules containing variable amount of cystic degeneration, vascularization and dystrophic calcifications, without or with minimal normal remaining parenchyma (fig 4). In the case of multiple sonographically similar appearing nodules, representative nodules, or nodule clusters when involvement is focal, can be identified for measurement to obtain more reproducible follow-up [33]. The main aim of ultrasound is to identify nodules that have malignant sonographic features (see TIRADS) to be submitted to ultrasound-guided FNA [34].…”

“…La Enfermedad de Graves del postparto corresponde a un trastorno autoinmune caracterizado por la unión de anticuerpos contra el receptor de tirotropina (TRAb) de las células foliculares, lo que estimula la síntesis y secreción de hormonas tiroídeas además de un aumento de volúmen difuso de la glándula 4 . Su prevalencia, considerando las formas persistente y transitoria, alcanza el 11% de las disfunciones tiroideas del postparto y afecta al 0.54% de las mujeres en el período postnatal 2 .…”

“…Su prevalencia, considerando las formas persistente y transitoria, alcanza el 11% de las disfunciones tiroideas del postparto y afecta al 0.54% de las mujeres en el período postnatal 2 . Generalmente se presenta entre el cuarto y sexto mes postnatal, destacando clínica-mente la presencia de bocio difuso y tirotoxicosis, pudiendo o no asociarse a oftalmopatía y orbitopatía infiltrativa 3,4 . La diferenciación entre ambas patologías se basa principalmente en los exámenes de laboratorio, siendo la determinación de anticuerpos contra el receptor de tirotropina (TRAb) la herramienta más especifica para identificar la Enfermedad de Graves 2 .…”
