A fetal goitre is a potentially dangerous phenomenon because of mechanical obstruction and possible fetal thyroid function disorders. During pregnancy women with a history of Graves' disease under treatment with propylthiouracil (PTU) have an increased risk for fetal goitre. In this report a patient with Graves' disease diagnosed in early pregnancy and treated with PTU which resulted in a fetal goitre is described. The fetal thyroid status, investigated by percutaneous fetal umbilical cord blood sampling, was normal and the reduction of PTU dosage was sufficient to decrease goitre volume. |
