Abstract

Background: Types of Congenital hypothyroidism are classified into permanent and transient (CH). Permanent (CH) refers to a persistent deficiency of thyroid hormone that requires life-long treatment. Transient CH refers to a temporary deficiency of thyroid hormone, discovered at birth, but then recovering to normal thyroid hormone production. Recovery occurs in the first few months or years of life.
