Abstract

Anthropometric and sonographic studies of 92 school children of younger and older age groups were carried
out. It has been proven that the transverse size of the thyroid gland is larger in boys than in girls in both
age groups. However, in a sonographic assessment of thyroid volume, opposite trends were obtained. To
assess thyromegaly, a sonographic assessment of thyroid volume is necessary, since the determination of
the volume of the thyroid gland by ultrasound is deprived of the subjectivity inherent in different doctors on
palpation. However, an assessment of the size of the thyroid gland must be carried out in accordance with
the body (area) of the child, calculated on the basis of height and weight.
