The thyroid gland may become overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). This atlas is a complete guide to thyroid disorders and thyroid surgery. Divided into eight sections, the book begins with an introduction to examination of the thyroid and recognition of symptoms that may lead to the diagnosis of various disorders.
