AB Key  PointsCerebral  calcifications  are  rare  and  are  associated  with  fetal  infections,  such  as  CMV,  rubella,  toxoplasma,  syphilis,  and  herpes,  as  well  as  with  trisomies  21  and  13.Following  the  diagnosis,  detailed  sonographic  evaluation  for  other  markers  of  aneuploidy  or  intrauterine  infection  is  warranted,  together  with  maternal  TORCH  titers,  followed  by  amniocentesis  for  the  specific  infectious  agent  as  suggested  by  abnormal  TORCH  titers.Further  pregnancy  and  pediatric  management  is  dictated  by  the  specific  underlying  etiology.
