We excluded from our study both adults and children diagnosed with Graves’disease (GD) or presenting nodular thyroid pathology or malignancies. We also excluded cases with a history of thyroid surgery (lobectomy/thyroidectomy). Adults without thyroid pathology were not included either. Additionally, children under the age of 5 were not included in the study due to difficult examination. Cases with normal antithyroid antibodies titers but suggestive ultrasound aspect for CAT were not taken into consideration.
