Congenital hypothyroidism is one of such New born screening, early detection and prompt intervention of developmental delay with consequent prevention of mental retardation in CH can transform the outlook of children with CH so severe growth retardation and mental handicap is no longer seen.

In both the types it was found that it was more common in females 50 cases (71.4%) compared to 20 (28.6 %) males, chi square revealed p value 0.002 (p value<0.05). Growth failure was present in all the cases, in71 % (50) cases height was found to be less than 3rd standard deviation, p value was 0.047(p value <0.05). Milestones were delayed in 45.7 % (32) children p value 0.0689(p value >0.05). Anaemia was seen in 68.5 % (48) p value 0.0001(p value<0.05), bone age was delayed in 48.5 % (34) p value 0.001(p value <0.05), family history of thyroid disorder was present in 25.7% (18) p value 0.623 (p value >0.05), although family history of hypothyroidism is common but in our case it was not found to be significant. History of neonatal jaundice was present in 20 % (14) children. 34.2 % children presented with history of chronic constipation and 20% with poor school performance.
