Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a condition characterized by damage to the white matter of the brain, particularly in the periventricular region, which is located around the ventricles of the brain. The condition is most often found in premature infants and is associated with a lack of oxygen to the brain, leading to necrosis of myelinated fibers. The white matter abnormalities may manifest as multiple small cystic lesions, and the condition is strongly associated with the development of future neurological disorders, including movement disorders and cognitive impairment.<\/p>\n
