Thyroid agenesis detected in adult age in patients receiving hypothyroid therapy
Abstract:
Congenital hypothyroidism plays a role in the etiology of thyroid dysgenesis at 80-85%. However, rarely, triode agenesis can cause congenital hypothyroidism. If thyroid hormone therapy is not initiated in the first two months of life, congenital hypothyroidism can cause serious neurological, mental, and motor damage. In this case, we aimed to present the case of thyroid agenesis which is followed up due to hypothyroidism in adulthood.
