Abstract
This article describes the clinical signs of endemic goiter, a disease characterized by rapid enlargement of the thyroid gland, which is often associated with iodine deficiency in the environment, and is more common in areas far from the oceans and seas. There are diffuse, nodular and mixed types of endemic goiter. In the early stages of goiter, even the slightest signs are not noticeable. But later the front part of the neck bulges out. As a result, the enlarged thyroid gland crushes nerves and blood vessels. Due to this, negative conditions such as shortness of breath, sudden changes in voice and hoarseness, suffocation, profuse sweating, difficulty in swallowing, and dizziness are observed in the patient.
