Abstract: The study was based on the results of the examination of 112 patients with toxic forms of goiter. The methods of comprehensive preoperative diagnosis of toxic forms of goiter should include ultrasound and CT, which make it possible to obtain non-invasively information about the size, topography and echostructure of the thyroid gland and about the pathological formations detected in it, and also to study the state of the zones of regional lymphatic drainage. Radionuclide scanning is indicated in autonomous nodes of the thyroid gland, in recurrence of toxic goiter and in atypical localisation of the thyroid gland. Hormonal examination of thyroid function includes determination of the concentration of TSH, T3, T4, thyroxine-binding globulin and the titre of antibodies to thyroglobulin.
