Introduction Congenital malformations are a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries and are assuming greater importance than ever before. They affect a variety of organ systems and various etiologies have been identified in literature including Toxoplasmosis, Other (syphilis, varicella-zoster, parvovirus B19), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes Simplex (TORCH) infections, exposure to pollutants, consumption of tobacco and alcohol, and advanced maternal age.

Aim: To identify neonatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features that predict the likelihood of children with congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) developing epilepsy, together with clinical features and a validated MRI scoring system.
Method: This was a retrospective descriptive cohort study of infants with cCMV referred to a paediatric infectious disease centre between April 2012 and March 2022, and followed up for at least 2 years. MRI was performed before 4 months of age and assessed by two paediatric neuroradiologists.
elements are primate-specific retrotransposon sequences that comprise ∼11% of human genomic DNA. sequences contain an internal RNA polymerase III promoter and the resultant RNA transcripts mobilize by a replicative process termed retrotransposition. retrotransposition requires the Long INterspersed Element-1 (LINE-1) open reading frame 2-encoded protein (ORF2p).
