A 4-year-old girl with congenital dysgenesis of the thyroid gland is reported. The girl's appearance was that of hypothyroidism in childhood but the classical symptoms of constipation and cerebral retardation were missing. Thus it is assumed that relative insufficiency of the ectopic thyroid at the base of the tongue produced manifestations only a short time before diagnosis, having had no influence on cerebral maturity.
报告了一名患有先天性甲状腺发育不全的4岁女孩。该女孩的外貌呈现儿童期甲状腺功能减退的表现，但缺少便秘和智力发育迟缓等典型症状。因此推测，舌根处异位甲状腺的相对功能不足仅在诊断前短时间内产生了症状，对脑成熟度没有影响。
