  • Title: [Preventive total thyroidectomy in children with MEN IIa syndrome].
    Author: Schmid T, Mühlig HP, Spelsberg F.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1994 Jan; 65(1):48-9. PubMed ID: 7908621.
    Abstract:
    Three children of MEN IIa-families underwent a prophylactic total thyroidectomy (at the age of 4, 7 and 8 years). Pathologic examination showed a bilateral C-cell-hyperplasia in each case. The annual follow-up of the physically and mentally well-developing children so far showed normal calcitonin provocative testing. Members of risk families should undergo a screening program as early as possible.
