Overview
The thyroid gland ultrasonography may be helpful in the diagnosis of cretinism. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of cretinism include a thyroid gland in an ectopic location or a large gland which is suggestive of thyroid dyshormonogenesis.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- The thyroid ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of cretinism. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of cretinism include:[1][2]
- A thyroid gland in an ectopic location.
- A large gland which is suggestive for thyroid dyshormonogenesis.
