Pediatrics, Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo Dei Tintori, Monza, Italy.
Objectives: Moebius syndrome (MS) is a rare congenital non-progressive rhombencephalic disorder mostly characterised by abducens and facial nerve palsy, but with a multifaceted clinical presentation.

Whilst universal screening for thyroid dysfunction is not recommended, targeted case finding of women at risk of thyroid disease during pregnancy is advised. A number of controversies continue to fuel debate including: (i) the target range for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in women with subfertility planning pregnancy (ii) management of mild thyroid hypofunction before and during pregnancy (iii) the treatment of TPO-antibody positive euthyroid women with levothyroxine (iv) the optimal choice of antithyroid treatment in women with hyperthyroidism.
