What is hypothyroidism in children called?

Graves disease
Myxedema
Cretinism
Euthyroid sick syndrome

The correct answer is: Cretinism

Hypothyroidism in children is called cretinism. Graves disease is a condition that causes hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid, and is not a form of hypothyroidism. Myxedema refers to hypothyroidism in adults, specifically when severe swelling occurs. Euthyroid sick syndrome is a different condition where temporary changes in thyroid hormone levels may occur in people who are ill or have certain diseases, but is not specific to children.
