Patients of subclinical hypothyroidism without neurological disorder, Patients of overt hypothyroidism without neurological disorder, Normal Euthyroid persons were included in the study, Pediatrics Patients, Comatose patients, Chronic Illness patients, Patients with neurological disorder, pregnant women were excluded from the study. [...]Thyroid gland secrets the hormone calcitonine which is implicated in homeostasis of blood calcium level. The test does not deliver 100% sensitivity so a score of 28 may be obtained in a well educated person with other features and an eventual diagnosis of dementia.5 Thyroid hormone treatment can prevent or decrease the depressive symptoms and the decline in cognition that accompanies extended residence. Other neurological features seen in congenital and later onset hypothyroidism include anxiety, depression, carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, headache, visual field defects, and coma.7 MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients of subclinical hypothyroidism without neurological disorder, Patients of overt hypothyroidism without neurological disorder, Normal Euthyroid persons were included in the study, Pediatrics Patients, Comatose patients, Chronic Illness patients, Patients with neurological disorder, pregnant women were excluded from the study.
