Presentation
In our case, the risk for thyrotoxicosis was present in the 31st week of gestation (maternal TSI =18.8 IU/l). (Table 2). [tmj.ro]
It presents in three major forms i.e. thyroid ectopy, athyreosis and thyroid hypoplasia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Agitation
At the age of two weeks the newborn presented psychomotory agitation, growth retardation, jaundice – reasons for hospital addmission. [tmj.ro]

Prevention
Abstract Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the one of the most common preventable cause of mental retardation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Further neurological and psychosomatic evaluation is required for preventing long term modifications. Genetic counseling is important, taking into account the risk of developing autoimmune pathology. [tmj.ro]
