While the majority of men and women who have a thyroid condition are diagnosed later in life, it is not uncommon for infants, children and teenagers to be diagnosed with a thyroid condition. Typically if an infant is diagnosed with a thyroid condition it is congenital, or present at birth. If a child or teen has a thyroid condition it sometimes won't be diagnosed until the onset of puberty. If a child doesn't have normal thyroid function this can cause poor growth which results in short stature, delayed development of permanent teeth, delayed puberty, and poor mental development.
