Management of thyrotoxicosis in pregnancy.

Between April 1985 and June 1995, 20 patients being treated for thyrotoxicosis became pregnant. These patients are reviewed. Control of thyrotoxicosis early in pregnancy using minimal doses of propylthiouracil or carbimazole, followed by subtotal thyroidectomy in the middle trimester, is safe for both mother and fetus.

The management of thyroglossal duct cysts.

Thirty patients undergoing surgery for a preoperative diagnosis of thyroglossal duct cyst have been reviewed. All patients were seen in a hospital service for patients of 16 years and over. Sistrunk's procedure is the operation of choice but when histological examination of a thyroglossal duct cyst reveals a papillary carcinoma, total thyroidectomy should be considered.
