Overview

There are no echocardiograms associated with de Quervain's thyroiditis. Ultrasound findings associated with de Quervain's thyroiditis are hypoechoic areas, glandular irregularities, and nonhomogeneous echo-texture.

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

There are no echocardiograms associated with de Quervain's thyroiditis.

Neck ultrasound for de Quervain's thyroiditis usually reveals:[1]

  • Hypoechoic areas
  • Mild thyroid enlargement
  • Nonhomogeneous echo-texture
