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 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 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
