title: [Oligosymptomatic manifestation of congenital hypothyroidism (author's transl)].
abstract: 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.
