Brain Metabolite Differences in Fetuses With Cytomegalovirus Infection: A Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common intrauterine infection and may be associated with unfavorable outcomes. While some CMV-infected fetuses may show gross or subtle brain abnormalities on MRI, their clinical significance may be unclear. Conversely, normal development cannot be guaranteed in CMV-infected fetuses with normal MRI.
