Postpartum thyroiditis is a disorder which is morphologically similar to Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but differs clinically. The disorder presents with a transient period of thyrotoxicosis which may be so mild that it is clinically missed. Many of these patients subsequently develop hypothyroidism which also spontaneously resolves. Documentation that the hypothyroidism is transient would be necessary to establish the diagnosis. There is a proclivity for this disorder to develop in the postpartum period. Two patients are presented with this disorder, one with a transient hypermetabolic state and one with a transient hypothyroid state.
产后甲状腺炎是一种在形态学上与桥本甲状腺炎相似，但临床症状不同的疾病。该疾病表现为一段甲状腺毒症的短暂时期，其症状可能非常轻微以至于临床上会被漏诊。这些患者中的许多人随后会发展为甲状腺功能减退，而这种减退也会自发缓解。要确诊必须有证据证明甲状腺功能减退是短暂的。这种疾病在产后时期有发病倾向。本文介绍了两名患有该疾病的患者，一名处于短暂的代谢亢进状态，另一名处于短暂的甲状腺功能减退状态。
