Abstract

We present the case of a patient with diagnosis of neonatal thyrotoxicosis, with history of being the son of mother with Graves disease, who was treated with radioactive iodine, actually hypothyroid. We performed the diagnosis when the boy was 5 days old by clinical history and symptoms: irritability, weight loss, tachycardia, heart failure, tremors and diaphoresis. The results confirmed the diagnosis: TSH<0.004MCU/ml,FT4>6ng/dl,FT317.4pg /ml,AcTG:88.8U/ml,AcTPO:51.4U/ml.We started immediate treatment with lugol, propranolol and methimazole, presenting clinical improvement at 24 hours.
