Topic Resources Congenital goiter is a diffuse or nodular enlargement of the thyroid gland present at birth. Thyroid hormone secretion may be decreased, increased, or normal. Diagnosis is by confirming thyroid size with ultrasonography. [msdmanuals.com]

Many children with goiters are euthyroid, but some present with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Diagnosis If the diagnosis of congenital goiter is suspected, thyroid size is typically assessed by ultrasonography. [merckmanuals.com]

The goiter is thought to be caused by intrauterine iodine deficiency, because hypothyroid values of T4 and TSH normalized during iodine treatment. General iodine prophylaxis of the population is recommended. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Surgical treatment of enlargement causing symptoms related to compression Sometimes thyroid hormone Hypothyroidism is treated with thyroid hormone. Goiters that compromise breathing and swallowing can be treated surgically. [merckmanuals.com]

Treatment is with synthetic thyroid hormone, taken every day. [icdlist.com]

In all reported cases, thyroxine treatment led to shrinkage of the goiter, reduction in amniotic fluid volume (in cases of polyhydramnios), and normalization of fetal thyroid function. [thyroidmanager.org]

Etiology Congenital goitres may be a result of hereditary or non-hereditary causes (see differential diagnosis). [radiopaedia.org]

In the US, however, Hashimoto's and Graves' disease are more common etiologies. Goiters can be classified based on their morphology, function, or dignity (benign or malignant). Symptoms depend on etiology and are often absent. [amboss.com]

Etiology Congenital goiters may be caused by dyshormonogenesis (abnormal thyroid hormone production), transplacental passage of maternal antibodies, or transplacental passage of goitrogens. Some causes of congenital goiter are hereditary. [merckmanuals.com]

The etiology of TD, which is the most common cause of CH, is largely unknown. [dovepress.com]

Summary Epidemiology Thyroid dyshormonogenesis accounts for 10-15% of permanent congenital hypothyroidism (see this term). Clinical description Clinical manifestations are those of other forms of congenital hypothyroidism (see this term). [orpha.net]

However, studies have reported a change in the epidemiology, with a doubling in incidence to around 1 in 1500 live newborns. [1, 2] This is thought to be due in part to an increase in congenital hypothyroidism with thyroid gland-in-situ (GIS). [3] Lower [emedicine.medscape.com]

The iodine deficiency can result in maternal and fetal hypothyroidism, preventing the partially protective transfer of maternal thyroid hormones. [clinicalgate.com]

If a disorder prevents the thyroid gland from responding normally by increasing hormone output, the increased stimulation by TSH causes the thyroid gland to enlarge. [msdmanuals.com]
