Abstract

As illustrated in Figure 1, the
scan shows uniform isotope uptake evident of the right and left
lobes of the thyroid gland with no focal areas of decreased or
increased uptake. The radiologic impression significantly increased
the isotope uptake at both 5-hours and 23-hours that is consistent with the graves disease. After the detailed discussion about
the probable results with the patient, high-risk obstetric surgery
was planned. A low transverse C-section was performed along with
bilateral salpingectomy. The patient tolerated the procedure well
with no anesthetic complications. Upon the birth of the neonate,
there were no complications reported after assessment by an inhouse neonatologist. Thus, making this high-risk surgery a success.
Graves disease affects 1 out of every 1000 women and the unique
steps taken during this case has made it successful and noteworthy
