Quantitative mri study of infant regional brain size following neonatal surgery for long-gap esophageal atresia requiring prolonged critical care.

DISCUSSION: Both full-term and premature critically ill infants undergoing life-saving surgery for LGEA are at risk of smaller total and regional brain sizes. Normalized volumes support globally delayed or diminished brain growth in patients. Future research should look into neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants born with LGEA.
