What are the brain changes in premature infants

Patient's question:

I would like to ask some questions about premature babies. Many cases mention that premature babies can have many organ effects. So what are the brain changes in premature babies? I am 25 years old. My best friend is too. Her baby was born prematurely.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. It is a pleasure to serve you. Changes in the brain of premature infants mean that infant brain hemorrhage typically occurs within one to two months. The most common cause may be a deficiency of vitamin K. If an infant has a vitamin K deficiency, physical bleeding spots, especially intracranial hemorrhage, are more common. If the child is sick, there may be a bulging fontanelle, crying, staring at the upper part of the eyes, and frequent vomiting.
