What is Neonatal hypothyroidism?

Neonatal hypothyroidism is decreased thyroid hormone production in a newborn. In very rare cases, no thyroid hormone is produced.

If the baby was born with the condition, it is called congenital hypothyroidism. If it develops soon after birth, it is referred to as hypothyroidism acquired in the newborn period.

Alternative Names:

Cretinism; Congenital hypothyroidism; Hypothyroidism - infants
