Congenital goitre is a known cause of hypothyroidism in newborn. Congenital goitre can be due to defective synthesis of thyroxine or administration of antithyroid drugs to the mother during pregnancy. In this case report, we report an instance of a preterm male infant with antenatally detected goitre presenting as a neck mass with congenital hypothyroidism. Hormonal replacement therapy was started immediately after birth which lead to resolution of the mass and normalisation of thyroid function.
先天性甲状腺肿是新生儿甲状腺功能减退的已知病因。先天性甲状腺肿可能是由于甲状腺素合成缺陷或母亲在孕期服用抗甲状腺药物所致。在本病例报告中，我们报告了一例早产男婴，产前检测到甲状腺肿，表现为颈部肿块并伴有先天性甲状腺功能减退。出生后立即开始激素替代治疗，这使得肿块消退且甲状腺功能恢复正常。
