AbstractDuring pregnancy the thyroid undergoes several changes including altered function and gland enlargement. We describe the management of a 36-week pregnant woman presenting with upper-way obstruction secondary to tracheal compression by a large multinodular goitre. The patient was successfully managed with an awake fibreoptic intubation performed orally followed by a caesarean section and thyroidectomy as a combines procedure.
