Congenital Hypothyroidism is one of the most common preventable cause of mental retardation in children. Usually this disease is caused by an abnormal development of thyroid gland also called as thyroid dysgenesis and occurs in 85% of the cases while the remaining 15% of cases are caused by dyshormonogenesis.The clinical manifestations of this disease are so subtle that many infants remain undiagnosed at birth. Delayed diagnosis leads to the most severe complication of CH.There are various ways of diagnosing the disease which includes dried capillary blood screening where serum is tested for the levels of TSH and T4.The recommended treatment of the disease is levothyroxine which is given at a dose of 10-15 mcg/kg/day.
