Unrecognized congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common cause of preventable cognitive delay in children. Infants with CH appear normal and are usually asymptomatic at birth. Early detection is critical for prevention of intellectual disability. Standardized newborn screening can have a positive impact on cognitive development in infants with CH.
