RESUMO
The management of thyroid and parathyroid pathology varies widely, with unifying goals of symptomatic control and mitigating patient morbidity. In general, surgery is indicated when addressing malignancy or when medical management is insufficient. Over the last few decades, treatment paradigms for patients with head and neck endocrine disease have shifted significantly as our understanding of disease processes has expanded and with the advent of numerous relevant technologies. Here we provide a general overview of thyroid and parathyroid disease that may be managed by the otolaryngologist, with attention to emerging strategies in diagnosis and treatment.
