First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how Hirschsprung disease, a rare birth defect affecting the bowel, impacts brain development and quality of life in children aged 8 to 13. Researchers tested thinking skills and surveyed families to understand long-term effects after surgery. The goal was to learn more, not to test a new treatment.
