What are brain changes in premature infants?

Patient's question:

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

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to serve you. Changes in the brain of premature infants mean that infant brain hemorrhage usually occurs within one to two months. The most common cause may be a deficiency of vitamin K. If an infant lacks vitamin K, bleeding spots on the body, especially intracranial hemorrhage, are more common. If the child is sick, there may be a bulging fontanelle, crying, staring upwards, and frequent vomiting.
