Thyroid Disease in Childhood

Diseases of the thyroid gland are manifested by either increase in gland size, alterations in hormonal secretion, or both. Changes in gland size and weight are associated with toxic or nontoxic goiter, adenomas, thyroiditis, or malignancies. Many reports can be found to study thyroid disease, but there is no report of thyroid disease in childhood. So the present studies have surveyed the record of patient with thyroid disorders seen at Severance h spital from 1969 to 1979. The following results were obtained. 1. Among 76 cases, 56 cases were fmeale and theoratio of male and female thyroid disease was 1:3.5. 2. In classification of thyroid diseases according to function, hyperthyroidism was 20 cases(26.3%), euthyroidism 38 cases(50%), and hypothyroidism 18 cases(23.7%). 3. Disease distribution according to age, congenital hypothyroidim comprises about 75% of thyroid disease below 10 year old, and adenoma 42%, hyperthyoidism 27% of thyroid disease from 10 to 18 years old. 4. The most common sign and symptom was goiter(75%) in hyperthyroidim, palpable mass(100%) in euthyroidism, distended abdomen(83.3%) in hypothyroidism. 5. Treatment of thyoid disease was medical treatment(44 cases), surgical treatment(23 cases), and observation(9 cases).

Clinical Studies on Congenital Heart Disease (1964~1975)

The clinical studies were performed on 757 patients who had been admitted to Severance Hospital from May, 1964 to June, 1975 with the diagnosis of congenital heart disease. The following results were obtained; 1. Among 757 patients, cardiac catheterization was performed on 367 patients. 2. Four hundred and thirty eight patients were male and 319 were female. Over half of them were below two years of age, but among 357 cardiac catheterized patients, 137 (37.3%) patients were ranged between 6 to 10 years. 3. V.S.D., Tetralogy of Fallot, P.D.A., A.S.D. were found in order of frequency. 4. Among 757 patients, combined extra-cardiac anomalies were found in 42 patients, and 14 patients were with Downanjx syndrome. 5. Among 367 cardiac catheterized patients, 164 (44.7%) patients had cardiac operations, and among these, 18 (11.0%) patients died including 7 patients of Tetralogy of Fallot.
