Abstract
Hyperemesis gravidarum, the most severe form of nausea and emesis during pregnancy, can seriously affect the health and well-being of the pregnant woman and her unborn fetus. Intravenous fluids, antiemetic medications and dietary manipulation can be tried initially. If these interventions are not effective, several investigations have shown rapid relief of nausea and vomiting, achievement of nutrition goals and successful pregnancy outcomes after the initiation of gastric enteral feeding. This article will review diet, medications and the use of enteral feeding in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum.The aim of this case report is to highlight the clinical presentation and transient phenomenon of gestational transient hyperthyroidism with hyperemesis gravid arum, and also to emphasize on the recommended management.
