The Role of Neck Ultrasonography and Nuclear Imaging in the Diagnosis of Congenital Hypothyroidism
Dyshormonogeneis is the more commonly observed etiology of CH as compared to thyroid agenesis in the present study. A combined imaging approach with scintigraphy and USG is needed to delineate the specific etiology of CH. We need long-term Indian data to know the paradigm shift in the etiological pattern of CH as compared to Western studies.
