Head Ultrasound or MRI? The Role of Neuroimaging in the Assessment of Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Infants with Congenital CMV Infection

摘要

BackgroundDespite interest in universal screening for congenital CMV infection (cCMV), there is little consensus on the management of asymptomatic newborns, and on the role or type of neuroimaging to be performed in infected infants. The objective of this study was to assess the concordance between head ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying neurological abnormalities in infants with cCMV infection.
