Congenital and Juvenile Hypothyroidism Due to Thyroid Dysgenesis.
Following the initial description of an ectopic thyroid by Verneuil, ( 1 ) it remained only as an anatomical curiosity for many years. Hunt ( 2 ) described dysphagia and obstruction of the upper larynx caused by a lingual thyroid and suggested the clinical importance of this entity. Mont gomery ( 3 ) has reviewed most of the reported cases, and observed that surgi cal ablation of the ectopic ti...

متن کاملPredictors of transient congenital hypothyroidism in children with eutopic thyroid gland
PURPOSE Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common cause of preventable mental retardation. Recently, the detection of CH cases with eutopic thyroid gland has increased due to neonatal screening programs. In this study, we aimed to identify and evaluate predictive factors that could distinguish between permanent and transient CH in patients with eutopic thyroid gland. METHODS We retros...
متن کاملScintigraphic imaging of paediatric thyroid dysfunction.
Imaging of thyroid dysfunction is safe and clinically relevant in children. In congenital hypothyroidism (CH), thyroid imaging permits a precise characterization of the aetiology, which is important for genetic counselling and clinical management. CH may be due to thyroid dysgenesis (ectopia, hypoplasia and athyrosis) or occurs in eutopic glands. In the latter, hypothyroidism may be either tran...
متن کاملMutations in the gene encoding paired box domain (PAX8) are not a frequent cause of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in Iranian patients with thyroid dysgenesis.
OBJECTIVE Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) may be caused by defects in the thyroid or in one of the stages in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Thyroid dysgenesis may be associated with mutation in the paired box transcription factor 8 (PAX8) gene. We attempted to screen PAX8 gene mutation in 50 CH patients with thyroid dysgenesis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The patients were classified in two group...
