#PeriventricularNodularHeterotopia (#PVNH) is a developmental brain disorder that causes learning disabilities and #seizures. This happens when nerve cells abnormally clump around the brain's ventricles.
There are still too many babies affected by PVNH / FLNA deficiency lung disease that do not survive. It breaks our hearts. Hopefully, the parents got the support they need. We are so sorry for their immense loss. We'll always be there for support.
