Sonographic features of Hashimoto thyroiditis in childhood

Clinical Radiology
P A SetJ Brämswig

Abstract

Fifty-seven sonograms of 18 children with Hashimoto thyroiditis were retrospectively assessed. Thirty-three examinations (in 12 patients) showed thyroid glands which were more reflective than adjacent strap muscles, 22 studies (in eight patients) demonstrated glands of equal reflectivity and two examinations (in one child) depicted thyroid glands of lower reflectivity than muscle. The most frequent ultrasound appearance consisted of 2-5 mm echopenic lesions generally distributed throughout large poorly-defined hyperreflective glands. In serial examinations no correlation was found between laboratory indexes of thyroid status and sonographic findings.

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.
