title: [Neonatal hyperthyroidism with early onset and protracted course].
abstract: Neonatal hyperthyroidism has often been described as a rare, transient disorder in which the mother has hyperthyroidism during her pregnancy. We have found 99 cases mentioned in recent literature, but not in all reports the clinical characteristics were described. This survey has shown that the prolonged clinical course, though less common than the transient one, is to be taken into account. A case of a female child who had signs of hyperthyroidism soon after the birth is presented. Now, at the age of 7.8 years, she continues to have hyperthyroidism with several problems in treatment.
