RESUMO
Forty-three children with congenital hypothyroidism(CH)underwent 99mTc thyroid scintigraphy, after being followed up by receiving levothyroxine till 2 to 3 years of age. The results showed that thyroid agenesia happened in 37 cases( 86.05% ) while entopic gland in 6 cases (13.95% ). Thyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc is an informative procedure in determining etiology and treatment schedules for children with CH.
