Endemic goiter is a chronic hypothyroid disorder primarily caused by iodine deficiency, resulting in thyroid gland enlargement and functional impairments. Its pathogenesis involves reduced thyroid hormone synthesis due to iodine deficiency, compensatory glandular responses, and goiter formation. Treatment includes levothyroxine supplementation, iodine fortification, dietary management, and public health monitoring. Studies indicate that effective control of endemic goiter requires preventive iodine supplementation, regular monitoring, and public awareness programs.
