Diagnostic criteria are skeletal abnormalities, enlarged anterior and posterior fontanel, and widened cranial suture. Physiological jaundice lasts for a long time, muscle tone is low, and lethargy. Hypothyroidism examination results can reveal increased thyroid stimulating hormone and decreased free thyroid hormone.
