Abstract

Tracheal necrosis is a rare complication of a thyroidectomy, almost exclusively following the resection of invasive thyroid carcinoma with tracheal involvement. We report a case of delayed tracheal necrosis following a routine thyroidectomy for noninvasive papillary thyroid carcinoma likely secondary to a postoperative seroma. This complication was successfully managed with a temporary tracheostomy.
