Thyroid hormones are essential for brain maturation. Very preterm infants, who are at risk of
neurodevelopmental disabilities also have low T4 and FT4 values in the first weeks after …

The thyroid hormones, T4 and 3, 5, 3-triiodothyronine (T3), are necessary for adequate
growth and development (Greenberg AH et al., 1974; Zimmermann, 2011), throughout fetal …

OBJECTIVE In view of the fact that, during the first period of life, thyroid hormones are critical
for brain development, we investigated whether even transient congenital hypothyroidism …

Congenital hypothyroidism (CHT) produces few and vague clinical signs during the first few
weeks of life, when it is still possible to prevent irreparable brain damage. In the Finnish …

Context: Untreated hypothyroidism is known to impair hearing, but little is known about the
long-term hearing of patients treated for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) since the neonatal …

Screening programs for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) dramatically improved the
neuropsychological prognosis in affected children. However, mild impairments in cognitive …

Combined maternal and fetal hypothyroidism, due to either endemic iodine deficiency or
autoimmune thyroiditis is associated with the fetal neurodevelopmental problems of classic …

Neonatal screening programmes allow early treatment to limit the consequences of
congenital hypothyroidism on maturation of the central nervous system, and on psychomotor …

To elucidate the role of thyroid ultrasound (TU) in the diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism
(CH), we compared 1) TU and thyroid scintigraphy (TS) in 6 CH newborns and 2) TU results …

The hearing profile of children with congenital hypothyroidism was studied in 45 patients
with thyroid gland agenesis, hypogenesis or dyshormogenesis, during adequate substitution …
