title: Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection in Monozygotic Twins with Twin-to-twin Transfusion Syndrome.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Symptoms of congenital cytomegalovirus infection remains unclear.
  
  
  METHODS
  Extremely low birth weight twins with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome were infected with cytomegalovirus congenitally.
  
  
  METHODS
  The donor showed neuronal impairment, whereas the recipient showed hepatic dysfunction.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intrauterine hemodynamics may be important in pathophysiology of congenital cytomegalovirus infection.
