AB  - KEY  POINTSDepending  on  geographic  factors,  cytomegalovirus  (CMV)  and  toxoplasmosis  are  the  more  frequent  intrauterine  infections.The  pattern  of  brain  involvement  in  CMV–IUI  may  range  from  minimal  (small  periventricular  cysts,  intrathalamic  vasculopathy)  to  severe  damage  (brain  atrophy,  malformations  of  cortical  development,  hemorrhages).Regardless  the  etiology,  the  prognosis  is  usually  poor  in  the  presence  of  intracranial  findings.CMV  infected  fetuses  without  brain  findings  are  generally  asymptomatic  at  birth  but  may  develop  sensorineural  deafness.In  patients  at  risk,  search  systematically  for  signs  of  infection.  Check  the  placenta,  liver,  intestines,  and  brain  (ventriculomegaly,  abnormal  periventricular  white  matter,  cysts,  etc).In  low-risk  patients,  these  signs  may  be  the  only  clue  for  prenatal  diagnosis.
