Can Goiter With Nodgles Cause A Cervical Hernation?
Hi, I have a disc hernations are C-5,6 &7. I see my endocrinologist yearly, (a little over due), - when the neurosurgeon viewed my cervical MRI, he noted a large thyroid with nodgles - which I already know. My question is - can a large thyroid/goiter with nodgles cause a cervical hernation?

Hi,
Actually it is a rare condition but I think in your case it may have exaggerate the underlying cervical disc herniation. I think your neurologist can give you a more precise answer according to your cervical condition
Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
