Thyrotoxicosis in pregnancy:: A case report.

B R Kamath1, K J Rao, A A Mayadunne.   

Abstract

There are various causes of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy such as Graves' disease and gestational thyrotoxicosis. The thyroid stimulation results from the excessive levels of circulating human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) produced by the trophoblastic tissue in both hydatidiform moles and choriocarcinoma. We present a pregnant patient with hydatidiform mole who presented with hyperthyroidism that resolved after evacuation of the mole.
