Follow‐Up of Infants With Congenital Cytomegalovirus Following Maternal Primary Infection in the First Trimester and Normal Fetal Brain Imaging at Midgestation
For infants with congenital CMV following untreated first trimester maternal primary infection, the absence of abnormal prenatal brain ultrasound findings at the mid-trimester morphology scan does not rule out the possibility of postnatal neuroimaging anomalies or the need for treatment after birth. However, no severe brain abnormalities were detected after birth in our cohort, and the only observed sequelae were sensorineural hearing loss.
