Overview

Physical Examination

  • If fetal deficiency was severe because of complete absence (athyreosis) of the gland, physical features may include a larger anterior fontanel, persistence of a posterior fontanel, an umbilical hernia, and a large tongue (macroglossia).
  • Without therapy, the child later may show signs of neurological impairment.
