A gestação induz mudanças fisiológicas na função tireoidiana materna. Além disso a presença de auto-imunidade tireoidiana ou de deficiência de iodo exacerbam essas alterações, podendo resultar em hipotireoidismo materno e/ou fetal e desta forma ocasionar complicações para as mães e o desenvolvimento dos fetos. Vários estudos têm demonstrado que filhos de mães com hipotireoidismo não tratado durante a gestação, podem apresentar comprometimento do desenvolvimento intelectual. O objetivo desta revisão bibliográfica é mostrar a importância de identificar e tratar precocemente as gestantes com essa enfermidade, e dessa forma eliminar os riscos de complicações. Recomenda-se também que as mulheres com diagnóstico prévio de hipotireoidismo devem ser aconselhadas a estabilizar a sua doença antes da gestação e assim previnirem em complicações.Pregnancy induces many physiological changes in maternal thyroid function. Furthermore, the presence of thyroid autoimmunity or iodine deficiency can exacerbate these alterations, resulting in maternal and/or fetal hypothyroidism and further occasional complications for the mother and the development of the fetus. Several studies have reported that untreated hypothyroidism during pregnancy may cause a significant decrease in intellectual development of the offspring. The aim of this review of the literature is to show the importance of identification and early therapy in pregnant women thus eliminating the risk of complications. We also point that women with previously diagnosed hipothyroidism should be advised to stabilize their disease before becoming pregnant to avoid these complications.
