Results: During this study period, we collected 6210 patient files, among which 133 cases of hyperthyroidism, i.e. 2.14% of the total number of pathologies received in the department. Predominance of women and an average age of 39.73. Among the signs of compression recorded, dyspnea was the most frequent, followed by dysphagia and dysphonia. We noted abnormalities of tracheal deviation and/or compression on cervical radiography in our study. We had mostly heteromultinodullary goiter, followed by diffuse goiter and basedow disease. Subtotal thyroidectomy was the most used surgical procedure with 69.1% followed by loboisthmectomy with 29.3% and finally total thyroidectomy with 1.5%. Conclusion: In our practice, subtotal thyroidectomy gave good results with an acceptable rate of hypothyroidism and no recurrence of hyperthyroidism in the short term. Radioactive iodine therapy remains a challenge in our context.},
