Substernal thyroid goitre is the most common cause of superior mediastinal masses. Respiratory symptoms are commonly present, in up to 90% of reported cases. However, these symptoms are rarely acute and life threatening. We report a case of acute airway obstruction, initially misdiagnosed as angioedema, revealing a spontaneous compressive substernal goitre haematoma, in a patient under anticoagulant. This life-threatening complication in patients with goitre and anticoagulant should be known.
