Abstract
- Objectives: Fetal and neonatal hyperthyroidism are most commonly seen in patients whose mothers have Graves' disease. Rarely, it can be caused by non-autoimmune conditions. As these conditions are rare, the workup and treatment is not uniform and can lead to persistent symptoms and long-term negative health effects.<br />Case Presentation: This report describes a patient with congenital hyperthyroidism from a toxic adenoma presenting with fetal tachycardia. The patient was initially managed medically after birth, but was eventually treated with thyroidectomy.<br />Conclusions: This case report highlights an additional, important, differential diagnosis for fetal hyperthyroidism when maternal Graves' disease has been ruled out.<br /> (© 2024 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.)
