Case Discussion
Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a form of brain injury that affects infants, particularly premature babies. It involves the necrosis of the periventricular white matter. This condition is most commonly associated with premature birth and is a leading cause of cerebral palsy and other neurological impairments.
