Effect of thyroid hormone treatment on thyromegaly in children and adolescents with Hashimoto disease.

Abstract
The effect of thyroid hormone treatment on thyromegaly was evaluated in 69 patients < or = 18 years of age with goitrous Hashimoto disease. Changes in goiter size were related to pretreatment thyroid function (serum thyroxine and thyrotropin concentrations). We found that only hypothyroid patients had a clear diminution of their thyromegaly when given thyroid hormone.
