Abstract:
The neurological damages of adult endemic cretinism in Tianjin GI Xian were studied with SPECT, CT, EEC, MRI. The abnormalities of blocd vessels and brain tissue, associated with the insufficiency of bleed supply arid delayed brain-development were found in these patiems. However the auditory examinations demonstrated that the pathegenesis of hearing defect was mainly at the auditory center in the temperal lobe. It was suggested that the irreversible patholcgicat damages of the blood vessels and brain development were caused by the. insufficient biosynthesis and secretion of thyroid hormone which was resulted from the delayed development and dysfunction of thyroid gland at the fetal stage.
