Overview

Cretinism may be classified into two groups which are transient and permanent cretinism. Permanent cretinism can be more classified into primary and secondary subtypes.

Classification

  • Cretinism may be classified into two groups:[1]
    • Transient cretinism: Transient deficiency of the thyroid hormones which may be discovered at birth. Thyroid hormones level returns back to normal after a while.
    • Permanent cretinism: Permanent deficiency of the thyroid hormones which will require 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
