Thyroid dysfunction in a patient with aglossia

We report a Thai girl who had aglossia, micrognathia, microsomia, collapse of mandibular arch, persistence of buccopharyngeal membrane, microcephaly, and mild developmental delay. Thyroid function tests indicated that she had subclinical hypothyroidism. Thyroid scan revealed normal uptake of the who...

We report a Thai girl who had aglossia, micrognathia, microsomia, collapse of mandibular arch, persistence of buccopharyngeal membrane, microcephaly, and mild developmental delay. Thyroid function tests indicated that she had subclinical hypothyroidism. Thyroid scan revealed normal uptake of the whole thyroid gland. Tongue morphogenesis is integrally linked to the normal development of thyroid gland, and abnormal tongue morphogenesis could potentially result in a functional thyroid disorder. We propose that micrognathia, microsomia, congenital absence of mandibular incisors, and collapse of the mandibular arch are the result of abnormal tongue development. © 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 2014-08-30T02:25:26Z 2014-08-30T02:25:26Z 2003 Article 15524825 12966532 AJMGD http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0141523161&partnerID=40&md5=3437981fb03d99858b1289975f9928ac http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12966532 http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/handle/6653943832/2830 English
