[Subdural hygroma in infants with congenital toxoplasmosis (author's transl)].
Cytological examination of the fluid from subdural hygromas revealed congenital Toxoplasmosis in 14 of 43 infants (32,5%). Conversely, subdural hygroma was a significant clinical symptom in 42 cases of congenital Toxoplasmosis. In 9 cases trophozoites or cystes of Toxoplasma Gondii were found in the subdural fluid, and in 4 of these in the cerebrospinal fluid as well. Since serological investigations in young infants and particularly severe infections often remain inconclusive the cytological examination of cerebrospinal fluid is emphasized importance of.
