Resumen Las enfermedades tiroideas, después de la diabetes mellitus, se encuentran entre los trastornos endocrinos más comunes durante el embarazo, con una incidencia del 5-10%. Es importante su detección y tratamiento precoz ya que puede tener consecuencias negativas tanto para la madre como para el feto. El hipertiroidismo se encuentra en menor frecuencia que el hipotiroidismo durante el embarazo, entre 0,1-1%. Se caracteriza por presentar tirotropina baja con hormonas tiroideas elevadas, siendo la enfermedad de Graves la causa más frecuente (el 85% de los casos). A continuación se expone el caso de un lactante con hipertiroidismo primario de etiología autoinmune, hijo de una madre sin diagnóstico previo de hipertiroidismo durante la gestación.
