[Cytomegalovirus myeloradiculitis in pregnancy].
BACKGROUND
Cytomegalovirus neurological complications are frequent in immunocompromised patients specially in HIV positive patient. In immunocompetent patient these complications are infrequent.


METHODS
We describe a case of cytomegalovirus myeloradiculitis during pregnancy in a 25-year-old woman, HIV negative. The evolution was favorable with foscarnet therapy.


CONCLUSIONS
A spinal complication during cytomegalovirus infection in immunocompetent patient should lead to a therapy with a specific antiviral to reduce neurologic involvement.
