THE RETROPHARYNGEAL SOFT TISSUES IN YOUNG INFANTS WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM

MICHAEL GRÜNEBAUM M.D.1 and GERARD MOSKOWITZ M.D.2

1 Department of Radiology, Beilinson Hospital, Petah-Tikva, Israel.
2 Department of Radiology, Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.

The retropharyngeal soft tissues were evaluated (from lateral roentgenograms of the chest and skull) in 12 infants with hypothyroidism.

Their ages ranged from 8 days to 4 months.

In all cases, the retropharyngeal soft tissues were abnormally thick. This increased thickness may occasionally lead to the recognition of newborns suffering from hypothyroidism. The presence of myxedematous thickening can be rapidly confirmed by fluoroscopy of the neck and various phases of respiration.
