Design:
The aim of our study was to describe a course of pregnancy, delivery and puerperal time in women hospitalized in our Clinic during their pregnancies because of hyperthyroidism.
Materials And Methods:
Sixteen case reports (thirteen pregnant women) were retrospectively analysed. Our study embrace data from the recent ten years.
Results:
In all cases pregnancies, deliveries and puerperal time proceeded without any serious complications. Infants were delivered in good condition and no congenital defects were reported.
Conclusions:
1. A proper treatment of hyperthyroidism in a pregnant woman determines the correct course of pregnancy, delivery and puerperal time. 2. We have not found any congenital defects, hypotrophy cases and infants' death reports in our material. 3. Hyperthyroidism in pregnancy does not determine cesarean section as a way of delivery.
