Case of Congenital Cytomegalic Inclusion Disease with Paraventricular Calcification
|
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Although still frequently considered a rare disease leading inexorably to severe brain damage, CMV is considered as the most common agent of congenital intrauterine viral infection, which results to microcephaly, mental retardation, sensoryneural deafness and defects of many organs and systems of body. Characteristically paraventricular calcification is considered as pathognomonic feature of congenital CMV infection.
We have experienced a case of congenital CMV infection in a 3 month-old male infant who had generalized toric seizure. The diagnosis was established by positive antibody titer to CMV and paraventricular calcification on brain C-T.
So a brief review of the pertinent literature is given.
