The first child was found to have a serum TSH of 565 mU/L and had a negative thyroid scan when presented for neonatal screening. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The present case is possibly an example of switching of TBAb to TSAb postpartum. [thetrp.net]

In the present case, the infant’s initial New Born Screen (NBS) was normal. The second newborn screen showed an elevated TSH with normal free T4. [digitalcommons.hsc.unt.edu]

These TSH- R blocking antibodies are present in newborn’s serum and used to disappear from infant’s circulation by 3rd month of life [ 1 ]. [alliedacademies.org]

• Disability

  Globally, it is the most common preventable cause of intellectual disability 2,3. Newborn screening has been shown to reduce the burden of intellectual disability due to CHT 4. [imj.ie]

  Management The aim of treatment is early detection and early thyroid hormone replacement to ensure that infants do not develop irreversible neurological disability. [patient.info]

  Rarely, delayed diagnosis and treatment of severe hypothyroidism lead to intellectual disability and short stature. [msdmanuals.com]

  If untreated for several months after birth, severe congenital hypothyroidism can lead to growth failure and permanent intellectual disability. Treatment consists of a daily dose of thyroid hormone ( thyroxine ) by mouth. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Congenital hypothyroidism affects about one out of every 4000 newborn babies and is considered among the most common and treatable causes of developmental delay worldwide. [verywell.com]

  Her last pregnancy resulted in a female baby weighing 2.5kg in July 2009 (after starting treatment for hypothyroidism) and did not show any motor or developmental delay or other features suggestive of hypothyroidism up to the current age of 1½yrs. [alliedacademies.org]

  Some confusion arises regarding the differentiation of transient hypothyroidism from transient hyperthyrotropinemia, which might represent a continuum along a scale of thyroid dysfunction. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Thyroid imaging either by ultrasound or radioisotope scan was not included in the scope of diagnostic workup in Oregon, either during the newborn period or at re-evaluation after 3 years of age. [karger.com]

[…] lateral radiograph of the knee may be obtained to look for the distal femoral epiphysis; this ossification center appears at about 36 weeks' gestation, and its absence in a term or postterm infant indicates prenatal effects of hypothyroidism. [16] See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Delayed Bone Age

  Among the cohort with poor compliance to therapy only 33 (61.1%) patients had normal height for age and 21 (38.9%) patients height were less than 2 SD height for age associated with delayed bone age. [journals.plos.org]

So it is possible for CH children to stop taking medicine if their laboratory findings and physical development are all normal after regular treatment and 2-3 years of follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, a certain number of cases were never trialed off treatment and so remained classified as indeterminate. [karger.com]

Infants who do not receive treatment should have repeat measurement of FT 4 and TSH at two and four weeks, with initiation of treatment if results remain abnormal. [aafp.org]

Generally, thyroid hormone levels are expected to reach normal values within about 10 days after the initiation of treatment. Treatment will continue for as long as the condition is present. [verywell.com]

Prognosis If CH is detected early in infants and treatment begun, normal development of mental function can occur. [ 11 ] If treatment is delayed, spasticity, gait problems and dysarthria and profound mental disability may result. [patient.info]

This study provides further evidence that the permanent or transient nature of congenital hypothyroidism is not directly related to the number of inactivated DUOX2 alleles, suggesting the existence of other pathophysiological factors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
