Pemberton's sign

Article Abstract:

A 58-year-old lady was suffering from goiter for the past 20 years but had developed some complications and so a computed tomography of the neck was conducted. The results showed that the large multinodular goiter had extended into the anterior superior mediastinum, which caused compression and deviation of the trachea, hence the situation is called the Pemberton's sign.
