Thyroid function screening detected a CH. The patient was promptly treated with propranolol: after 2 weeks, a marked reduction in tumour size was observed and thyroid function was restored. No hormone replacement therapy was required. We then performed a literature review on PubMed\/Medline: based on the title and abstract, we extracted 64 cases of CH secondary to IHH published between 2000 and 2023. 59.37% patients received propranolol, either alone (52.63%) or in combination with other treatments. 18.75% patients required surgical treatment or liver transplant. LT4 was administered in 92.85% of the patients. Patients who received propranolol required a lower dosage of LT4 than patients who received other treatments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thyroid function should be evaluated in all children with IHH to rule out CH.
