Simple goiter in children
Simple goiter is a general term for diseases that only cause goiter, excluding secondary goiter and hyperthyroidism. It is caused by iodine deficiency or goitrogenic substances, which lead to compensatory enlargement of the thyroid gland. It is usually not accompanied by thyroid dysfunction. Simple goiter can be divided into two types: local and sporadic.
