Abstract
The aim of the work was to assess the prevalence of cardiac anomalies in primary congenital hypothyroidism (PCH) patients. Fifty patients with PCH recruited after diagnosis by ultrasonography or scintigraphy (64% Dysgenesis, 36% Dyshormonogenesis). The prevalence of cardiac anomalies was 18%, with renal anomalies being 8%. There was no significant difference in the longitudinal follow-up of growth and sexual maturation between a hypothyroid with and without anomalies. Statistically significant difference was found with replacement therapy of both groups. Hence, echocardiography should be done to screen this birth defect as soon as possible so as to prevent or delay the possible complications. [Arch Clin Exp Surg 2013; 2(2.000): 85-91]
