PVL

Hi. My son has just been diagnosed with PVL. I have been told that PVL could be classed as cerebral palsy, so have assumed this is the case. Have I made the right assumption?!?
Thanks!
Thanks!

PVL occurs as a result of damage to the ventricles of the brain and the circulation of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). It normally occurs in pregnancy and can lead to cerebral palsy and other conditions so it is not specifically CP or a type of CP. Scope has a really useful information sheet on PVL - http://www.scope.org.uk/support/families/diagnosis/pvl
