    Abstract:
    We discuss the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to reveal early fetal neurological involvement of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. A woman presented at 21 weeks of pregnancy with active CMV infection. Cerebral ultrasound examination had been normal. An MRI scan revealed a thickened germinal matrix, which was histologically confirmed, associated with underdevelopment of the gyri. Brain MRI proved particularly useful in identifying the findings not disclosed by routine ultrasound during pregnancy and subsequently confirmed at histology.
