honestly it depends on which ventricles are prominent. my little girl has PVL (periventricular leukomalacia). basically the left and right ventricles in her brain overgrew due to a lack of oxygen during 17-20 of my pregnancy. it caused the brain tissue around these ventricles to die and because of the excess space created the ventricles grew too big. she has serious issues with motor control (large, fine, and oral) and it also deeply impacts her balance and coordination. the right ventricle overgrew even more than the left so she also has nerve damage that effects the left side of her body more than the right. she is in occupational therapy twice a week, physical therapy once a week, and speech therapy once a week as well. if u have a child that has prominent ventricles i highly suggest you seek these therapies as well, the earlier the better. hope this has been helpful to you.
