We followed up a patient born preterm with congenital thyrotoxicosis by observing her general movements (GMs) in accordance with Prechtl's method. Initially a chaotic pattern was observed. Along with the normalization of thyroid hormones, the GM pattern changed to a poor repertoire at four weeks of life, full-blown writhing movements at six weeks and fidgety movements at the age of four months. This is the first report of chaotic GMs in a neonate reflecting transient neurological dysfunction related to congenital thyrotoxicosis, with subsequent normal neurological and cognitive outcome.

Graves' disease (GD) and gestational transient thyrotoxicosis (GTT) are the most common causes of thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy, with prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 1% and from 1% to 3%, respectively. Hyperthyroidism during pregnancy can have severe consequences if not promptly recognized and treated.

Article Synopsis
- Pediatric thyroid disorders are increasingly diagnosed, with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) being the most common, found in 39% of cases among children referred for evaluation.
- The study involved 241 treatment-naïve children under 18, where data was collected on various thyroid-related metrics, and treatment decisions were made based on clinical judgment with a follow-up over a year.
- Significant factors influencing treatment included age, gender, autoantibody positivity, and family history, indicating that autoimmunity and familial links play essential roles in managing SCH and highlight the need for ongoing surveillance for congenital hypothyroidism (CH).

We aimed to analyze the management of the ectopic mediastinal thyroid (EMT) with respect to EMT-related cancer and non-malignant findings related to the pathological report, clinical presentation, imaging traits, endocrine profile, connective tissue to the cervical (eutopic) thyroid gland, biopsy or fine needle aspiration (FNA) results, surgical techniques and post-operatory outcome. This was a comprehensive review based on revising any type of freely PubMed-accessible English, full-length original papers including the keywords "ectopic thyroid" and "mediastinum" from inception until March 2024. We included 89 original articles that specified EMTs data.

Preconception evaluation of couples wishing to conceive is an important step toward a healthy pregnancy and it is especially important in people with a chronic condition or at genetic risk. The most common endocrine disorders in women at reproductive age are those involving the thyroid gland and it is well recognized that hyperthyroidism (HT), over-function of the thyroid gland, is associated with risks of maternal, fetal, and neonatal complications. The aim of this paper is to review the latest evidence regarding the components of preconception counseling in women with HT that contemplate a pregnancy.

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is one of several congenital malformations associated with antithyroid/thiourylene drug use in pregnancy. While uncommon among the general population (1-3/100 000 cases), the risk among those on thiourylenes is between 1.6% and 3%.
