Thyrotoxicosis of newborns, observed in less than 1% of pregnant women with Graves disease, is due to transplacental transfer of stimulating antibodies to the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (rTSH). The clinical picture manifests itself in the first days of a child’s life, is transient in nature and, as a rule, ends with a full recovery as the maternal antibodies to rTSH disappear from the bloodstream of the newborn. However, in addition to the "classic" autoimmune thyrotoxicosis, cases of congenital and familial non-autoimmune thyrotoxicosis, which are caused by inherited activating mutations of the gene encoding rTSH - TSHR, have been described. This article presents its own observation.
