Unusual manifestations of postnatally acquired cytomegalovirus infection: findings on CT and MR.
An infant with unusual CT and MRI manifestations of postnatally acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is presented. The child exhibited extensive inflammatory lesions in the periventricular area and at the level of the quadrigeminal plate with the formation of a pseudotumour at this level. The latter produced aqueduct obstruction resulting in hydrocephalus. These findings have not previously been described in the literature.
