Pregnancy complicated by thyrotoxicosis

Of 17 pregnancies complicated by thyrotoxicosis, detection and treatment commenced in 11 before conception, and in 6 during pregnancy. Treatment consisted of carbimazole alone in 13, and carbimazole and propanolol in 4 pregnancies. There was one abortion in the group treated with carbimazole. In the four pregnancies managed with carbimazole and propanolol, there were two perinatal deaths. There was adequate response with minimal doses of anti-thyroid drugs, supported by clinical assessment and assays of thyroid hormones (AU)
