Quantitative MRI Assessment of Gyrification and Brain Volume in Congenital Cytomegalovirus Fetuses and Postnatal Outcome

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to quantitatively assess the impact of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on fetal brain development by analyzing cortical gyrification and brain volumes in CMV-exposed fetuses, while also evaluating postnatal outcomes. Their findings revealed that CMV-infected fetuses exhibited reduced cerebral gyrification regardless of MRI findings, and follow-up indicated that some children experienced neurodevelopmental difficulties, highlighting the potential for improved risk identification through quantitative MRI analysis.
