But in premature babies it stays open thus causes problems in the baby. Periventricular Leukomalacia or PVL is known as a sign of brain damage. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia or BPD is a chronic lung disease or CLD; this is found in babies who require oxygen when they are four years old. Other diseases or conditions which premature babies may encounter include apnea and bradycardia or (A & Bs), retinopathy of prematurity or ROP etc.
