This image demonstrates brain MRI abnormalities observed in cCMV. Images from a child with CACMV (panels a–e) demonstrate diffuse thin corpus callosum (upper arrowheads in a), small pons (asterisk in a), diffuse cerebellar hypoplasia (lower arrowhead in a), diffuse reduced number and complexity of gyri and irregular cortex consistent with PMG seen in all regions (arrows in b, long white arrows shown only on the right in c), and extensive periventricular and subcortical white matter injury and calcifications (short white arrow in c–e), and mild-moderate ventriculomegaly. Images from another patient with CACMV show normal corpus callosum and cerebellum with PMG over the parietal convexity and right perisylvian region (arrows in f, g), bilateral perisylvian predominant PMG (long white arrow shown only on the right in (h–j), and moderate posterior ventriculomegaly. The images include T1-weighted sagittal (a, b, f, g), T2-weighted non-turbo axial (c, d), 3D-MPRAGE coronal (e) and axial (h, i) and T2-weighted coronal (j) sequences.
