Ultrasound
Fetal CMV is usually undetected by routine transabdominal ultrasound, but prenatal transvaginal screening ultrasound in infected mothers may show:
- Periventricular calcifications (hyperechogenic foci)
- Hydrocephalus
- Heterogeneous appearing parenchyma
- Microcephaly
- Intraventricular adhesions
These findings are associated with poor outcome, allowing mothers to consider termination of the pregnancy.
