title: [Cytomegalovirus myeloradiculitis in pregnancy].
abstract: 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.
