Cerebrovascular circulation "steal" syndrome secondary to a voluminous retrotracheal goiter

Abstract

A case of recurrent transient ischaemic attacks in the brain resolved after removal of a voluminous retrotracheal goiter is presented. The presence of congenital atretic left vertebral artery, associated with impairment of left carotid artery blood flow by a very large inferior thyroid artery, probably caused the episodes to transient ischaemic attack.
