Abstract
Congenital hypothyroidism is the congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones which is characterized by mental and motor retardation. Large tongue, short and thick neck are some morphologic features of the patients. It is known that patients with hypothyroidism have increased sensibility to respiratory and central nervous system depressants. In this case report, we discussed two different protocols of general anesthesia and monitorization in the postoperative critical care unit of a patient with congenital hypothyroidism.
