Non-Immune Goiter and Hypothyroidism in a 19-Week Fetus: A Plea for Conservative Treatment

2009

Hypothyroidism was documented by cordocentesis at 19 weeks in a fetus with non-immune goiter. Intra-amniotic thyroxine was injected at 25 weeks when amniotic fluid volume increased. Psychomotor outcome was normal. We argue that intra-amniotic thyroxine should not be used to treat the hypothyroidism but only to correct the development of polyhydramnios.
