The clinical picture of congenital hypothyroidism in the newborn period as well as in infancy is presented. Those signs and symptoms are particularly emphasized which in spite of being clearly present in the newborn are frequently not registered and mostly not correctly interpreted.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is defined as thyroid hormone deficiency present at birth. Babies with CH who are not identified and treated promptly develop severe mental retardation. Most of the babies with CH do not manifest the typical known signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism, and this is most likely due to transplacental passage of some maternal ...

The 1980s have seen widespread growth in the screening of newborn infants for congenital hypothyroidism (CH). By 1982 it was estimated that 7‐9 million infants were screened annually.1 There has been further expansion since 1982, not only in communities with highly developed public health programmes, but also in less developed centres.2 Experience from

Because of the lack of signs and symptoms in the first weeks of life, the most important tool for the early diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism is a newborn screening program.

Congenital Hypothyroidism: Etiology
Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2010The etiology of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is important in determining its severity, prognosis, genetic counseling and clinical management.investigate the causes of CH and their severity using serum levels of FreeT4 and TSH.243 neonates with CH (61% were girls) diagnosed by the Neonatal Screening Program of Minas Gerais between 1996 and 2003.

Availability of sensitive radioimunoassays for T4 and TSH has simplified the detection and treatment of congenital hypothyroidism. Early diagnosis by newborn screening and prompt treatment should minimize the serious complications of mental retardation.

Screening for congenital hypothyroidism
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1977The development of efficient micromethod assay systems for thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone makes possible detection of this condition in the neonate, when clinical signs seldom arouse suspicion. Starting treatment by age three months has been shown to prevent severe intellectual deficit; thus mass screening can be considered cost ...

The Journal of family practice, 1989
This paper presents a case report of congenital hypothyroidism that illustrates some of the issues in screening for this disorder. Congenital hypothyroidism has several causes, the most common of which is thyroid dysgenesis. Most affected infants have no historical clues or physical findings to suggest diagnosis.

Congenital hypothyroidism is the principle cause of preventable mental retardation, with a prevalence of 1 in 3,500 neonates. The disorder may be permanent or transitory. Permanent congenital hypothyroidism is caused principally by thyroid dysgenesis. In industrialized countries, mass screening allows the disorder to be diagnosed at birth. The severity
