Abstract
Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common congenital endocrine disorder in childhood which corresponds to a deficiency of thyroid hormones. This article aimed to do a literature review about the Speech Language Pathology disorders that might be associated to HC. The keywords used for searching the electronic databases PUBMED and MEDLINE were: congenital hypothyroidism OR hypothyroidism AND hearing OR voice OR language. It was included studies published up to July 2011. Two researchers did the analyses, independently, with further discussion and consensus about the inclusion. Out of the 324 studies found in the preliminary analysis, only 20 of them were included in the final sample after establishing the criteria for inclusion. We observed that a great number of articles on the children language development on CH, but controversial ones, when it comes to the results of the evaluations. In Audiology, there has been a reduction in the number of articles that describe hearing loss in children who had CH. Only two papers were found about the voice, which referred exclusively to crying abnormalities in babies affected by CH. Although some findings were proven relevant to the subject, the great variability of the research methodology does not allow us to have a clear conclusion on the probable speech language pathology disorders in children with congenital hypothyroidism.

Resumo
O Hipotireoidismo Congênito (HC) é a doença endócrina congênita mais comum na infância e corresponde à deficiência de hormônios tireoidianos. Este artigo teve o objetivo de realizar uma revisão crítica da literatura, a respeito das possíveis alterações fonoaudiológicas relacionadas ao HC. Os descritores utilizados para a busca nas bases de dados eletrônicas PUBMED e MEDLINE foram: hypothyroidism OR congenital hypothyroidism AND voice OR hearing OR language. Foram incluídos estudos publicados até julho de 2011. As análises foram realizadas independentemente por dois dos pesquisadores, com posterior discussão e consenso sobre a inclusão. Dos 324 estudos localizados na análise inicial, apenas 20 compuseram a amostra final após o estabelecimento dos critérios de inclusão. Observou-se que há um número considerável de artigos sobre a linguagem de crianças com HC, embora com controvérsias no que se refere aos resultados das avaliações. Quanto à Audiologia, nos últimos anos houve uma redução no número de artigos que descrevem alterações auditivas em crianças com HC. Na área de Voz, foram localizados apenas dois artigos, que se referiram exclusivamente às anormalidades observadas no choro de bebês com HC. Embora com algumas constatações relevantes a respeito do assunto, a grande variabilidade metodológica das pesquisas não permite que se tenha uma conclusão clara sobre as possíveis alterações fonoaudiológicas em crianças portadoras de hipotireoidismo congênito na atualidade.
