A Case of Sporadic Congenital Goitre
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since the general use of iodine prophylactically in endemic goitre areas gross enlargement of the thyroid gland at birth has become relatively uncommon. Wegelin's (1926) series in the preiodine period of 223 consecutive necropsies on newborn infants in a goitre area between 1911 and 1921 showed that 340% had thyroid glands weighing over 6 g. The normal weight of the gland at birth in a healthy infant is I 5 to 2 g. The following case is apparently one of sporadic congenital goitre without any evidence of thyroid dysfunction or goitre in the mother or her family. Surgical intervention afforded an interesting opportunity to examine histologically the thyroid gland at two different stages after treatment with thyroid extract. Case Report
