  • Title: [Goiter in childhood].
    Author: Mussa GC.
    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1983; 5(6):477-84. PubMed ID: 6689630.
    Abstract:
    In this review on goitre in pediatric age we will differentiate clinical conditions of euthyroidism, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. From an etiopathogenetic point of view we are observing a decrease in endemic goitres due to a defective iodide intake with diet. More common are the defects in hormonal synthesis, genetically transmitted; the connections between immune system and thyroid diseases, e.g. Hashimoto thyroiditis and Grave's disease, are discussed. We will also deal with minor goitre conditions, such as the rare familial peripheral resistance to thyroid hormones.
