Abstract
The persistent presence of maternal thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody in patients with Graves’disease could cause fetal hyperthyroid goiter during pregnancy. The recognition and treatment of hyperthyroid fetal goiter are believed to be very important to optimize growth and intellectual development in affected fetuses. We report here, a case of a hyperthyroid fetal goiter identified by ultrasound exam at 27 weeks 5 days of gestation in a women having Graves’ disease and on antithyroid drugs therapy. This observation shows the fetal risk associated with the persistence of anti-TSH receptor antibodies in mothers with Graves' disease and the possibility of fetal approach.
