ABSTRACT
Thyroid problems are the most common endocrine disorder during pregnancy. The prevalence of hyperthyroidism and pregnancy is 0.1-0.2%. It is more common Graves disease. Thyrotoxicosis in pregnancy without treatment has adverse maternal outcomes; preeclampsia, preterm birth, and neonatal thyrotoxicosis low birth weight and increased perinatal mortality.
Case report: This case is about a pregnant woman who presented preterm delivery, severe preeclampsia and in the immediate postpartum period thyroid storm with acute pulmonary edema.
Conclusions: The diagnosis and proper treatment of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy is important to prevent fetal and maternal complications. During pregnancy, the activity of thyroid hormones undergoes changes as a significant increase thyroglobulin, total T4, T3 and total renal iodide clearance increased, and thyroid stimulating by chorionic gonadotropin.
