Pattern of White Matter Abnormalities at MR Imaging: Use of Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing of Guthrie Cards to Link Pattern with Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection
The MR imaging pattern suggestive of congenital cytomegalovirus infection consists of white matter abnormalities either alone or in combination with gyral abnormalities in the form of polymicrogyria; in the absence of gyral abnormalities, the white matter abnormalities consist of multifocal lesions, with the largest lesions in the deep parietal area, relatively sparing the immediately periventricular and subcortical white matter; in the presence of gyral abnormalities, both diffuse and multifocal white matter abnormalities may occur.
