Transient congenital hypothyroidism due to maternal intake of antithyroid drugs – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/809146001

Transient congenital hypothyroidism can develop in a fetus and newborn if their mother is being treated with antithyroid drugs, such as, carbimazole, methimazole (MMI), or propylthiouracil (PTU), for the treatment of Graves disease. Transient symptoms include an enlarged thyroid gland and respiratory problems. The hypothyroidism, goitre, and associated symptoms resolve once the drug has been cleared from the circulation.
