ABSTRACT
Early diagnosis, L-tiroxine therapy and adequate follow-up are determinant to remove the damages resulting from hormone deficiency in congenital hypothyroidism (CH). In order to achieve a better intellectual development, the authors suggest some guidelines for a correct follow-up on the basis of their personal experience on a population of 160 children with CH. These guidelines include monitored therapy, biochemical controls, instrumental investigations, clinical and auxological serial examinations. To better predict the mental outcome of these patients as adults, the authors propose a longer follow-up till adolescents, especially in the children with more severe hypothyroidism at diagnosis.
