The authors present the developmental outcome of 16 children with congenital hypothyroidism diagnosed by screening in the neonatal period, using the Brazelton and the Dubowitz scales in the newborn and the Griffiths scale subsequently. Results are compared with those of a control group assessed at 6 and 18 months using the Griffiths scale.
