Clinical InformationClinical

  • Congenital Hypothyroidism

    a condition in infancy or early childhood due to an in-utero deficiency of thyroid hormones that can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as thyroid dysgenesis or hypothyroidism in infants of mothers treated with thiouracil during pregnancy. endemic cretinism is the result of iodine deficiency. clinical symptoms include severe mental retardation, impaired skeletal development, short stature, and myxedema.

  • Myxedema

    a condition characterized by a dry, waxy type of swelling (edema) with abnormal deposits of mucopolysaccharides in the skin and other tissues. it is caused by a deficiency of thyroid hormones. the skin becomes puffy around the eyes and on the cheeks. the face is dull and expressionless with thickened nose and lips.

  • Scleromyxedema

    a connective tissue disorder characterized by widespread thickening of skin with a cobblestone-like appearance. it is caused by proliferation of fibroblasts and deposition of mucin in the dermis in the absence of thyroid disease. most scleromyxedema cases are associated with a monoclonal gammopathy, immunoglobulin igg-lambda.

  • Graves Disease with Pretibial Myxedema and Thyrotoxic Crisis|Graves' disease with pretibial myxedema AND with thyrotoxic crisis

    graves disease associated with thyrotoxic crisis and cutaneous non-pitting edema and plaque formation.

  • Congenital Iodine Deficiency Syndrome, Myxedematous Type|Congenital iodine-deficiency syndrome, myxedematous type

    congenital iodine deficiency syndrome associated with milder mental retardation, short stature, goiter, and hypothyroidism. it results from iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism in the fetus during late pregnancy or in the neonatal period.

  • Myxedema

    a condition characterized by severe hypothyroidism that is caused by autoimmune thyroid gland disorders, surgical reduction of thyroid tissue, radiation exposure, and viral infections. signs and symptoms include generalized fatigue, lethargy, increased body weight, pale, edematous and thickened skin, low blood pressure, constipation and cold intolerance.

  • Myxedema Coma|Myxedema coma

    a life-threatening condition characterized by altered mental status and defective thermoregulation. it is seen in individuals with severe, decompensated hypothyroidism.

  • Scleromyxedema

    a rare chronic and progressive skin disorder characterized by mucin deposition in the skin, resulting in the thickening and hardening of the skin, predominantly in the face, fingers, and extremities.

  • Systemic Atrophy Primarily Affecting the Central Nervous System in Myxedema|Systemic atrophy primarily affecting the central nervous system in myxedema

    evidence of systemic atrophy primarily affecting the central nervous system in myxedema.

  • Endemic Cretinism

    severely reduced physical and mental growth associated with pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs and symptoms, due to dietary iodine deficiency.

Patient EducationClinical

Thyroid Diseases

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. It makes hormones that control the way the body uses energy. These hormones affect nearly every organ in your body and control many of your body's most important functions. For example, they affect your breathing, heart rate, weight, digestion, and moods.
