title: [Why perform routine brain sonography in late preterm infants?].
abstract: We present a case of a late preterm baby with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), prolonged jaundice and congenital hypothyroidism. The infant developed late lenticulostriate vasculopathy (LSV). LSV was previously described in association with various neurodevelopmental abnormalities and in this case would have been missed by the current US brain screening recommendations for newborns.
