An inaccurate name for the affection which is called, also, Bo'chium, Botium, Bocium, Hernia gut'turis seu guttura'lis seu bronchia'lis, Guttur tu'midum seu globo'sum, Trachelophy'ma, Thyroce'le, Thyreoce'le, Tracheoce'le, Tracheloce'le, Thyremphrax'is, Thyreophrax'ia, Thyrophrax'ia, Thyreon'cus, Thyron'cus, Deiron'cus, Deron'cus, Gossum, Go'tium, Exechebron'chus, Gongro'na, Struma, Glans, Tuber gutturo'sum, Gutte'ria, &c., the Derbyshire neck, Swelled neck, Wen, Goitre, &C., (F.) Goitre, Gouetre, Hypertrophie du Corps Thyroide, Grosse Gorge, Gros Con. This is no rupture, but consists of an enlargement of the thyroid gland. It is common at the base of lofty mountains in every part of the world; and has been supposed to be owing to the drinking of snow-water, but it occurs where there is no snow. The tumour is sometimes very extensive. Iodine has great power over it, and will generally occasion its absorption, when the case has not been of such duration as to have ended in a cartilaginous condition.
