ABSTRACT

El hipotiroidismo primario por tiroiditis crónica autoinmune es raro en niños menores de tres años. Presentamos una niña de dos años cuyos síntomas de hipotiroidismo aparecieron a los 18 meses de vida: estancamiento pondoestatural y retraso en la adquisición del lenguaje. El tratamiento con levotiroxina ha normalizado rápidamente el crecimiento, el lenguaje y los valores analíticos. Destacamos la importancia de realizar un diagnóstico y un tratamiento precoces, incluyendo el estudio de la función tiroidea dentro de la batería de pruebas de un niño con fallo de medro. El tratamiento precoz sirve para prevenir déficits neurológicos o de crecimiento irreversibles (AU)


Primary hypothyroidism caused by chronic autoiummune thyroiditis is rare before the age of three years. We report the case of a two-year-old girl who presented symptoms of hypothyroidism at eighteen months of age: poor growth and delayed language development. Treatment wih thyroxine resulted in a markedly normalization of growth, language and laboratory data. We emphasize the importance of getting to a diagnosis and treatment as early as possible, including study of thyroid function in young infants with delayed growth. Early treatment is necessary to prevent irreversible neurological and growth deficits (AU)
