Physical examination and computer tomography CT revealed a diffuse swelling of the thyroid gland. Thyroid function tests were normal, and the perchlorate discharge test was negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
For those who develop goiters large enough to cause breathing or swallowing difficulties, treatment may include shrinking the swelling or surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid. [hiddenhearing.co.uk]

Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing impairment, presence of goiter, and a partial defect in iodide organification, which may be associated with insufficient thyroid hormone synthesis. [scholars.northwestern.edu]
Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by profound hearing impairment and inappropriate iodine release by the thyroid on perchlorate challenge. [tandfonline.com]
Workup
Children who are diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss and who go on to have imaging studies as part of their workup will have EVA 5-15 percent of the time. It may not be that the EVA is the cause of the hearing loss but the underlying defect. [uhhospitals.org]

Etiology
If a genetic etiology is not determined from Tier I, testing may then proceed to the OtoSeq panel by next-generation sequencing. This two-tiered approach provides the most thorough diagnostic genetic evaluation available today. [cincinnatichildrens.org]
Usher syndrome accounts for a large percentage of the etiology of deaf-blindness. The dual sensory impairment has huge implications for communication and education. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology Biallelic or double heterozygous genetic mutations are identified in about half of patients: biallelic mutations in SLC26A4 (7q31), or double heterozygous mutations in SLC26A4 and FOXI1 (5q34), or in SLC26A4 and KCNJ10 (1q23.2). [orpha.net]
When PS and nonsydromal LVA are considered part of the same disease spectrum, the prevalence of this disorder as an etiology for congenital deafness is 5.5% (Smith & Van Camp, 2006). [asha.org]
Epidemiology

Elucidation of the molecular basis of Pendred syndrome and the function of pendrin has provided unexpected novel insights into the pathophysiology of the inner ear, thyroid hormone synthesis, and chloride/bicarbonate exchange in the kidney. [scholars.northwestern.edu]
Prevention
Early intervention measures can be taken to prevent disease progression and reduce thyroid growth, thereby reducing the likelihood of obstruction and canceration. [spandidos-publications.com]
Mutations in the SLC26A4 gene prevent pendrin activity and create an imbalance of ions, disrupting the development and maintenance of the thyroid gland and the inner ear. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. [evolvegene.com]
