AB Disorders  of  the  thyroid  are  one  of  the  most  common  reasons  for  pediatric  endocrinology  consultations  in  the  newborn  period.  Physical  symptoms  of  thyroid  disease  are  often  absent,  but  the  effects  of  thyroid  dysfunction  in  the  neonatal  period  could  result  in  significant  deleterious  health  effects  later  in  life.  This  chapter  reviews  disorders  of  the  thyroid  most  likely  to  be  encountered  in  the  newborn  nursery  and  neonatal  intensive  care  unit  (NICU).
