Can cytomegalovirus cause brachydactyly? A case report and review of the literature.
A child with the diagnosis of CMV infection associated with brachydactyly is presented. The case is interesting as, to our knowledge, no similar case has been reported up to the present. In our case, apart from CMV, no teratogenic factor which may cause brachydactyly could be detected.
