Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Mild periventricular flare and prominence happens in preterm babies.
Only repeat followup scans will tell if the changes disppear.
If the changes persist , MRI may be needed to look for the cause ( example hypoxia, hypoglycemia induced )
Wishing your child speedy recovery
