Abstract
A case of post-thyroidectomy hypothyroidism is reported. The patient became euthyroid in three consecutive pregnancies, reverting to hypothyroid withi n three months of delivery on each occasion. The alteration in thyroid stat us is attributed to pregnancy related changes in antibody titres, though th e laboratory data to confirm this are not available.
