Overview
Cretinism may be classified into two groups which include transient and permanent cretinism. Permanent cretinism may classified into two subgroups including primary and secondary cretinism.
Classification
- Cretinism may be classified based on the duration of thyroid hormones deficiency into two groups:[1]
- Transient cretinism: Transient deficiency of the thyroid hormones which may be discovered at birth. Thyroid hormone levels returns back to normal after a period of time.
- Permanent cretinism: Permanent deficiency of the thyroid hormones which requires life long hormonal replacement. Permanent cretinism can be classified into two subgroups based on the location of the etiology:
- Primary permanent cretinism
- Secondary (central) permanent cretinism
