Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism in an Adolescent With Complex Congenital Heart Disease Exposed to Iodinated Contrast Media: Case Report
Abstract
Introduction: Jod‐Basedow syndrome and iodine‐induced hypothyroidism are rare but clinically significant complications of iodine exposure. We report a unique case of a 14‐year‐old boy with congenital heart disease, who developed sequential iodine‐induced hypothyroidism due to failure to escape from the Wolff–Chaikoff effect, followed by hyperthyroidism (Jod‐Basedow syndrome) after additional exposure to iodinated contrast.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
