Abstract
Neonatal immune hyperthyroidism is a rare but potentially fatal condition. It occurs in 1�5 % of infants born to women with Graves� disease. We present a case of neonatal thyrotoxicosis born to a mother with Graves disease (elevated thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins) which was detected early owing to high index of suspicion and resolved without any impairment.
