It is associated with an increased incidence of maternal and perinatal complications. Pre-conceptional achievement of euthyroid state is advised. Serum thyroid profile is diagnostic.The mainstay of management is anti-thyroid drugs. Other available options are beta-adrenergic blockers and subtotal thyroidectomy.

Early diagnosis and management of maternal hyperthyroidism plays the key role in improving pregnancy outcomes.
