Goiter: Patients with IDD most commonly present with goiter. Atypical endemic goiter is shown as a bulge on the front neck part. Children present with diffuse goiters, while adults present with nodular goiters. If a goiter is large enough, patients may complain of compressive symptoms such as hoarseness, shortness of breath, cough, or dysphagia

Hypothyroidism: Individuals with severe iodine deficiency may also have hypothyroidism and may complain of fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, constipation, or depression
