Case in brief

A late preterm infant presented with thyrotoxicosis due to maternal Graves disease, which had been treated with radioactive iodine. The infant's condition was linked to the transplacental transfer of thyrotropin receptor antibodies. Early assessment of neonatal thyroid function was crucial for timely intervention, highlighting the need for monitoring in infants born to mothers with a history of Graves disease.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Clinicians should assess thyroid function in neonates born to mothers with a history of Graves disease to identify potential hyperthyroidism early.

Why it matters

This case underscores the importance of monitoring maternal thyroid antibodies during pregnancy to prevent neonatal complications.
