Abstract

Introduction: CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection. We observed a cirrhotic liver and intracerebral hemorrhage due to fetal CMV infection. Case presentation: Fetal CMV infection was diagnosed at 20 weeks of gestation, leading to termination of pregnancy. At fetopsy, the liver was macronodularly cirrhotic with necrosis and CMV inclusions. Intracerebral hemorrhage, seen on the prenatal ultrasound, was confirmed. Discussion/Conclusion: Congenital CMV infection can cause cirrhosis and intracerebral hemorrhage as early as 20 weeks gestation.
