Congenital hyperthyroidism in a stillborn fetus, caused by untreated maternal Graves' disease, led to fetal death from congestive heart failure. Autopsy revealed significant fetal and placental abnormalities, including craniosynostosis and goiter.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology
  • Perinatology

Background:

  • Untreated Graves' disease in pregnancy can lead to fetal hyperthyroidism.
  • Congenital hyperthyroidism presents significant risks to fetal development and survival.

Observation:

  • Autopsy of a stillborn fetus revealed congenital hyperthyroidism and congestive heart failure.
  • Key findings included fetal craniosynostosis, enlarged thyroid with hyperactive follicles, cardiac abnormalities, and placental infarctions.

Findings:

  • Fetal exophthalmia, craniosynostosis, and goiter confirmed hyperthyroidism.
  • Craniosynostosis is linked to thyroid hormone's anabolic effect on fetal bone development.
  • Placental damage and umbilical cord changes were also noted.

Implications:

  • Delayed treatment of maternal Graves' disease exacerbated fetal hyperthyroidism.
  • This case highlights the critical need for timely management of maternal hyperthyroidism to prevent fetal demise.
  • Understanding these pathological changes is crucial for improving perinatal outcomes.
