Most premature babies are treated by a perinatologist. A pediatric neurologist may be consulted if a baby is suspected of having periventricular leukomalacia or intraventricular bleeding
Low blood oxygen, decreased delivery of oxygen to the body's tissues, and/or decreased flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body's tissues can predispose a newborn baby to periventricular leukomalacia.
Symptoms of periventricular leukomalacia are tight, spastic leg muscles, delayed motor development, delayed intellectual development, problems with coordination, and impaired vision and hearing.

What does this mean in easy to understand terms
