Thyroid atrophy causes the clinical picture known as myxoedema. Thyroid atrophy is the end result of either severe thyroid damage or total loss of pituitary stimulation. The possible causes are: (1) irradiation (2) atrophic auto-immune thyroiditis (a form of auto-immune distinct from both Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease).

Subclinical iodine-deficiency hypothyroidism E02 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E02 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), also called mild thyroid failure, is diagnosed when peripheral thyroid hormone levels are within normal reference laboratory range but serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are mildly elevated. This condition occurs in 3% to 8% of the general population.
Subclinical hyperthyroidism is defined by a low or undetectable serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level, with normal free thyroxine and total or free triiodothyronine levels.
These types are according to the reasons behind underactivity of thyroid gland. Congenital – Present at birth. Acquire d or Primary – Most common cause is due to autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Immune system attacks thyroid and makes it difficult to produce hormone.
Secondary –Problem with another gland interferes activity of thyroid gland. For example, hormone produced by pituitary gland triggers the production of thyroid hormone. So, if any problem happens with pituitary gland it affects thyroid hormone production.
Hypothyroidism, congenital. Clinical Information. A condition in infancy or early childhood due to an in-utero deficiency of thyroid hormones that can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as thyroid dysgenesis or hypothyroidism in infants of mothers treated with thiouracil during pregnancy.
Clinical symptoms include severe mental retardation, impaired skeletal development, short stature, and myxedema. A deficiency of thyroid hormone present at birth. The etiology can be genetic or environmental, or a combination of both; treatment is based on severity and causality.
A goitre (from the Latin gutteria, struma) is a swelling of the neck or larynx resulting from enlargement of the thyroid gland (thyromegaly), associated with a thyroid gland that is not functioning properly.
