Abstract EN

Thyroid surgery was undertaken well before thyroid gland physiology was understood.

The procedures were often fraught with complications, including massive hemorrhage, infection, injury to surrounding structures and sore throat.

All of which were associated with morbidity and mortality rates of nearly 40%.

Here we report a case of post total thyroidectomy with persistent pricking sensation in the left side of the throat only while talking loudly and laughing.

It seemed after thorough exams and investigations, to be secondary to surgical clip used in thyroid surgery.

To our knowledge this is the first case reported with such a problem.
