Ett kliniskt syndrom som beror på minskad utsöndring av sköldkörtelhormon från sköldkörteln. Det leder till minskad ämnesomsättning och i sin svåraste form till ansamling av mukopolysackarider i huden som i sin tur ger myxödem. En medfödd form, kretinism, medför störningar i den intellektuella och fysiska utvecklingen.

In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.
