ABSTRACT |
We present a patient with a clinically silent arteriovenous fistula of arteria thyroidea ima, diagnosed with color doppler examination and confirmed by CT angiography. Fine needle cytopunction of thyroid gland using anatomic landmark tehnique was performed at the age of 12 to confirm the diagnosis of autoimmune disorder. Later ultrasound follow up revealed vascular lesion of the right thyroid lobe. We presumed an iatrogenic small artery lesion during fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Proposed therapy included right thyroid lobectomy and radiological vascular intervention. Follow up doppler ultrasounds showed spontaneous partial thrombosis of the malformation.
