Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Leukomalacia means degenerative changes of the white matter of the brain which are following the hypoxic ischaemic episode. As no further history is available it is not possible to give any guidance.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your child all the best.
