Abstract
Acquired hypothyroidism represents a frequent challenge for paediatricians. Knowing the pathophysiological basis of this disease and its main clinical manifestations is closely linked to proper diagnostic and therapeutic management. As is well known, thyroid hormones play a central role in maintaining the basal metabolism, essential for the functioning of all organs and apparatus. The described clinical case, with its peculiarities, represents an important opportunity to reflect on the possible pitfalls of diseases that sometimes are considered trivial.
