4 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.

Medical observation is needed to prevent the and manage the complications of malnutrition.

16 Marasmus

17 What is it? Severe undernourishment causing an infant's or child's weight to be significantly low for their age (e.g., below 60 percent of normal).

18 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. The afflicted are often fretful, irritable, and voraciously hungry.

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.

20 Treatment A nutritious, well-balanced diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, and protein will reduce the risk of malnutrition and any related marasmus. Treatment of marasmus involves a special feeding and rehydration plan and close medical observation to prevent and manage complications of malnutrition.
