Brain MRI findings in newborns with congenital cytomegalovirus infection: results from a large cohort study.

• Neonatal brain MRI showed abnormalities in more than 30% of clinically asymptomatic and 75% of symptomatic newborns with congenital cytomegalovirus infection. • White matter lesions were by far the most common detected abnormality, followed by subependymal cysts and ventricular dilatation. • Lesions in cCMV were often multiple, with many patients showing concomitant lesions.
