Abstract

Congenital goiter is an uncommon condition caused by altered fetal thyroid function of endogenous or exogenous cause (maternal thyroid dysfunction, iodine deficiency in the diet or secondary to taking medication). The impact on the mature development of the fetus, as well as the compression of adjacent structures due to increased size, which may be a risk factor for airway obstruction and hypoxic-ischemic lesions, make the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology of vital importance. It is usually diagnosed by ultrasound in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a complementary and important diagnostic technique in the event of an intrapartum treatment procedure.
