Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of isolated white matter abnormalities in neonatal brain MRI on outcomes in newborns with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV).
- Two pediatric radiologists evaluated the white matter of 286 newborns, categorizing it as normal, doubtful, or abnormal, and assessing the associated clinical outcomes, specifically hearing and neuromotor evaluations.
- Results indicated a significant correlation between abnormal white matter and increased rates of neonatal hearing loss, while cognitive impairment showed a weaker association; patients with doubtful white matter did not exhibit worse clinical outcomes.
