Recurrent postpartum painless thyroiditis.
We have presented a case of "painless thyroiditis," a syndrome of transient hyperthyroidism with low 131I uptake and no local thyroid gland symptoms. Although the cause is not known, our patient had recurrences after each of her three pregnancies, strengthening the association of this disorder with the postpartum state.
