Neonatal goiter is a rare cause of a neck mass and stridor. Often, the diagnosis can be made on clinical grounds exclusively, but there may be times when a neck mass becomes a diagnostic dilemma. There are several different imaging modalities available to the clinician that are useful in the rapid diagnosis of neonatal goiter. Presently, however, there is no definite algorithm for the workup of a neonatal neck mass. The two cases presented here demonstrate the imaging findings of plain film radiography, sonography, scintigraphy, and CT in neonatal goiter.

Pregnancy complicated by fetal goiter following lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension: A case study.
Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo 160-8582, Japan.
Objective: We report a case of pregnancy following lung transplantation (LT) for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) in Japan.
Case Report: A female developed IPAH at 14 years of age and underwent a successful bilateral living-donor lobar LT from her parents at 19 years of age (gravida 2, para 0). At the age of 40 years, the patient became pregnant via artificial insemination.
Study on serum TL1A levels and their correlation with Th17 cells, IL-17 and IL-21 in children with Graves' disease.

Department of Pediatrics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Objective: To investigate serum TL1A levels and their correlation with Th17 cells, IL-17, and IL-21 in children with Graves' disease (GD).
Methods: Thirty-seven children (12 males and 25 females) aged 9-14 years with newly diagnosed and untreated GD were enrolled in this study. Serum TL1A, IL-17, and IL-21 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Article Synopsis
- Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune disorder where the body's antibodies stimulate the TSH receptor, causing excessive thyroid hormone production.
- Diagnosis typically involves assessing symptoms and a thyroid panel, with specific tests for TSH Receptor Antibodies (TRAbs) aiding in diagnosis and management strategies.
- Recent guidelines from experienced endocrinologists emphasize the importance of TRAbs in GD management to improve effectiveness and decision-making for healthcare providers, particularly in South Asia.
Cesarean section with operation on placental support as an adapted EXIT procedure for fetal thyroid goiter: A case report and literature review.
Int J Gynaecol Obstet
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
The ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure is a specialized delivery strategy that extends utero-placental-fetal circulation to convert a potential neonatal emergency condition into a condition that is compatible with postnatal life. Cesarean section with operation on placental support is an EXIT technique that requires a relatively short duration of placental support and few skilled medical personnel and specialized instruments; it can successfully treat selected fetal indications. In the present study, we report a case of fetal thyroid goiter as an example of a fetal anomaly requiring the procedure.

Medicina (Kaunas)
July 2024
Hospital San Juan de Dios, Santiago 8350488, Chile.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital thyroid dyshormonogenesis (CHD) in newborns results from disrupted thyroid hormone synthesis, often due to hereditary mutations, particularly in the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) enzyme gene.
- A study involving 12 Chilean patients with CHD found two possibly pathogenic mutations in the TPO gene, affecting 16.6% of the participants.
- Findings from this work could facilitate genetic counseling for families impacted by this condition, given the genetic basis of some cases.
