title: Congenital CMV with callosal lipoma and agenesis.
abstract: An infant with symptomatic congenital Cytomegalovirus infection is reported. After the detection of abnormalities on cranial ultrasound scanning, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a complete absence of corpus callosum with a midline anterior tubulonodular lipoma. A proposed causative link between early in utero Cytomegalovirus infection and lipoma with agenesis of corpus callosum is discussed.
