A Study of Neurodevelopmental Abnormalities in Children Exposed to Anesthesia Prior to Age 3

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if neurodevelopmental abnormalities in children exposed to anesthesia prior to age 3 are associated with specific changes in brain MRI.  Individuals who have already undergone detailed neuropsychological testing as part of an earlier study will be invited to return for brain imaging.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects will be sampled from the 997 subjects who underwent neuropsychological testing in the current funding period.

Exclusion Criteria: 

  • Claustrophobia or other condition which precludes the subject from lying quietly in the MRI scanner 
  • Standard MRI contraindications such as an implanted device, and
