Autoimmune hypothyroidism is a frequent pathology in children and adolescents; however, there is no consensus on its diagnosis within the broad spectrum of autoimmune thyroiditis. Objective: To describe the clinical, biochemical and radiological characteristics at diagnosis of children and adolescents with autoimmune hypothyroidism treated at a hospital in Lima from 2014 to 2019. Materials and methods: Case series. The clinical histories of patients with a diagnosis of autoimmune hypothyroidism were reviewed. Patients with dysmorphogenetic syndrome, chronic disease, use of medications, and acute or subacute hypothyroidism were excluded. Clinical, laboratory and radiological data were collected at diagnosis. Z-height, Z-genetic height and Z-IMC were estimated. Descriptive statistics and T-test with Stata 17 were performed. p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age was 9.63 ± 3.13 years, female sex (89.5%), pubertal stage (60.5%), reason for consultation: goiter (52.6%). Goiter grade: I (34.6%), II (34.6%) and III (30.8%). Normal weight 52.7%, overweight 21%, and obesity 26.3%. 76.3% and 94.8% presented adequate scholar performance and psychomotor development. 31.8% had a family history. The Z-height was significantly higher than the genetic Z-height. There was no significant difference between bone and chronological age. 86.9% presented positive antibodies. Conclusions: Goiter was the most frequent sign, the majority didn’t present growth disorder, nutritional status alteration or bone age delay. One third had a family history of thyropathy. The absence of anti TPO and anti TG didn’t rule out the diagnosis of autoimmune hypothyroidism.
