Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neonatal hyperthyrodism is rare and mainly develops in neonates born to mothers with a history of Graves’ disease. The incidence is estimated to be 1% in pregnancies associated with thyroid disease. Clinical manifestations include intrauterine growth retardation, goiter, irritability, facial flushing, tachycardia, and exophthalmos. Symptoms are mostly transient, lasting up to 12 weeks or more. We present one case of neonatal thyrotoxicosis detected by tachycardia in a neonate in whom maternal Graves’ disease was initially unrecognized.
