Cretinism, a severe form of congenital hypothyroidism, is characterized by symptoms such as stunted growth, intellectual disability, and physical deformities. Affected individuals may exhibit a puffy face, thickened skin, and a protruding tongue. Additionally, there can be developmental delays, delayed puberty, and hearing impairments. Early diagnosis and treatment with thyroid hormone replacement can help mitigate some of these symptoms.
