Question:
Answer:
Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is characterized by the death of the brain’s white matter due to softening of the brain tissue. The disorder is caused by a lack of oxygen or blood flow to the periventricular area of the brain. This disorder is characterised by various names : “diffuse periventricular leukoencephalopathy,” “subcortical leukoencephalopathy,” “ischemic necrosis,” “leukomalacia,” & “softening of the brain.”
Use set #1987
Leukoencephalopathy, Subcortical:
0.02, 0.5, 0.85, 2.5, 7.5, 15.69, 125, 225.69, 321.45, 377.91
Intellectual disability-severe speech delay-mild dysmorphism syndrome, also known as intellectual disability with language impairment and with or without autistic features, is a disorder characterized by global developmental delay with moderate to severe speech delay that affects expressive speech.
There is usually a specific condition which causes this delay, such as Fragile X syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities. However, it is sometimes difficult to identify this underlying condition.
Other terms associated with this condition are failure to thrive (which focuses on lack of weight gain and physical development), intellectual disability (which focuses on intellectual deficits and the changes they cause to development) and developmental disability (which can refer to both intellectual and physical disability altering development).
