PG - 460-466 LID - 10.1159/000508218 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Congenital cytomegalovirus infection (CCMVI) may result in neurodevelopmental impairments (NDIs) such as hearing loss, developmental delay, epilepsy, and cerebral palsy. We aimed to investigate the potential for brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict NDI in patients with CCMVI. METHODS: We studied infants with CCMVI who were referred to our hospital from April 2010 to October 2018 and underwent a brain MRI within 3 months since birth. We screened for 6 classic presentations of CCMVI including ventriculomegaly, periventricular cysts, hippocampal dysplasia, cerebellar hypoplasia, migration disorders, and white matter abnormalities. Images were interpreted by a blinded pediatric radiologist. NDI was defined as having a developmental quotient <80, hearing dysfunction, blindness, or epilepsy requiring anti-epileptic drugs at approximately 18 months of corrected age. RESULTS: The study involved 42 infants with CCMVI (median gestational age 38 weeks, birthweight 2,516 g). At least one abnormal finding was detected in 28 (67%) infants. Abnormal findings consisted of 3 cerebellar hypoplasia (7%), 7 migration disorders (17%), 26 white matter abnormalities (62%), 12 periventricular cysts (28%), 1 hippocampal dysplasia (2%), and 20 ventriculomegaly (48%). Abnormal findings were significantly more prevalent in infants with clinical symptoms (21/24, 91%) than in those without (7/19, 37%, p < 0.01). For NDI prediction, having >/=2 of ventriculomegaly, periventricular cysts, and white matter abnormality produced the highest Youden index values (0.78). CONCLUSION: Infants with CCMVI with at least 2 of the abovementioned specific brain image abnormalities may be at high risk of developing NDI. CI - (c) 2020 S. Karger AG, Basel.
