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