polysomnography: Patient will be assessed by home Polysomnography(PSG), one night, Pulmonary function tests, including respiratory muscle strength, and comprehensive biological assessment of thyroid function.
Literature regarding effects of goiter on the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains scarce. Reports have described cases of OSA in patients suffering from goiters, resolved after thyroidectomy.
It has been recently shown that goiters of a total volume exceeding 25 mL leads to \>30% tracheal compression.
The aims of the present study is to assess 1) the prevalence of OSA in patients suffering from goiters and planned for thyroidectomy 2) the role of thyroidectomy in OSA resolution in patients suffering from pre-operative OSA 3) the identification of predictors for persisting OSA.
