Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Goiter can present at any age in children. The most common cause of goiter formation in the United States is autoimmune thyroiditis. In neonates, the normal thyroid size has been reported as 0.9 ± 0.2 mL. In older children from iodine sufficient areas, it is 3.1 to 6.3 mL. The “rule of thumb” is also used to determine thyroid size: each lobe should be the size of the terminal phalanx of the child’s thumb.
