PG  - 211-6
AB  - The introduction of new diagnostic methods for the evaluation of solitary thyroid 
      nodules allows for unquestionable differentiation between malignant and benign 
      lesions in most cases. It makes therapeutic procedure other than surgical therapy 
      possible. One of the procedures is the percutaneous alcohol sclerotherapy (PSA). 
      It is the most commonly used for the treatment of thyroid cysts and autonomous 
      thyroid nodules. PSA was first proposed by Livraghi in 1990 as possible therapy 
      for autonomously functioning thyroid nodules. This method is based on the 
      administration of a limited amount of sterile alcohol into the thyroid nodule 
      under direct ultrasonografic control. The application of PSA according to the 
      worked out procedure gives a permanent remission of thyroid cysts in most cases 
      and the 85-100% decrease of thyroid nodule volume. In the case of "toxic" and 
      "pretoxic" type of nodules, a normalization of serum FT3, FT4 and TSH level 
      occurs. Scintigraphy shows recovery of extranodular uptake of radionuclide and 
      effacement of previously hot area of thyroid scintiscan. The following 
      complications were observed after PSA: pain of the injection site, local 
      hematoma, fever, sinus tachycardia, transient dysphonia. The intensity of these 
      complications is generally low.
