Abstract
An 11-month-old infant was treated elsewhere for congenital hypothyroidism with weekly doses of levothyroxine. The infant had cardinal features of cretinism including poor growth, delayed skeletal maturation, and mental retardation. Treatment of such infants with weekly doses of levothyroxine cannot be justified.Entities:
