Cretinism
5
Cause Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical and mental growth due to untreated congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones(congenital hypothyroidism) Around the world, the most common cause of congenital hypothyroidism is iodine deficiency. Cretinism is therefore most probably due to a diet deficient in iodine.
6
Signs + Symptoms Poor growth is apparent as early as the first year of life. Adult stature without treatment ranges from 1 to 1.6 metres (3'4 to 5'3), depending on severity, sex and other genetic factors. In adults, Cretinism results in mental deterioration, swelling of the skin, loss of water and hair. Bone maturation and puberty are severely delayed. Ovulation is impeded and infertility is common. Neurological impairment may be mild, with reduced muscle tone and coordination, or so severe that the person cannot stand or walk. Cognitive impairment may also range from mild to so severe that the person is nonverbal and dependent on others for basic care. Thought and reflexes are slower. Other signs may include thickened skin, enlarged tongue, or a protruding abdomen.

Symptoms and signs Marasmus symptoms will vary depending on the severity and whether associated infections or other conditions are present. General symptoms of marasmus include chronic diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, and rapid weight loss. Extensive tissue and muscle wasting.Other common characteristics include dry skin, loose skin folds hanging over the buttocks and armpit, etc. There is also drastic loss of body fat from normal areas of fat deposits like buttocks and thighs.

19
Causes Marasmus is a form of malnutrition in which inadequate amounts of both protein and calories are consumed. Marasmus occurs most often in developing nations or in countries where poverty, along with inadequate food supplies and contaminated water are.
