Total intravenous anesthesia for evacuation of a hydatidiform mole and termination of pregnancy in a patient with thyrotoxicosis.
Clinical hyperthyroidism is found in approximately 5% of women with a hydatidiform mole, as human chorionic gonadotropin secreted by molar tissue is structurally similar to thyroid-stimulating hormone. A hydatidiform mole occasionally presents with a co-existing viable fetus. Surgical evacuation may be indicated for significant hemorrhage or preeclampsia. Perioperative management in the presence of hyperthyroidism may be complicated by a thyroid storm. We report a case of total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil, combined with an esmolol infusion, to control sympathetic hyperactivity during surgery.

Apathetic Graves' disease and acquired hemophilia due to factor VIIIc antibody.
Acquired hemophilia due to autoantibody to Factor VIII coagulant (Factor VIIIc) is a rare event which may be observed in patients with different autoimmune diseases. To our knowledge, this association has been reported only once in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease. Here we describe a patient presenting with a severe hemorrhagic disorder due to Factor VIIIc antibody in whom biochemical screening for thyroid diseases led to a diagnosis of hyperthyroid Graves' disease not associated to overt clinical features. This case underlines the importance of carrying out a complete screening for autoimmunity, including thyroid autoimmune disease, in all patients with apparently isolated serum Factor VIIIc inhibitors.
