BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to predict the neurological outcomes of patients with congenital cytomegalovirus infection by analysis of magnetic resonance images of the brain.
METHODS: From June 2007 to June 2016, 31 patients were diagnosed with symptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus infection at Asan Medical Center. The medical records and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of these patients were reviewed, and the relationships between MRI findings and neurological outcomes were analyzed.
RESULTS: Of the 31 patients, 17 were male and 12 were born prematurely (gestation age less than 37 weeks). Twenty-one patients presented with delayed development, 11 with microcephaly, and 10 with sensorineural hearing loss. Eleven patients developed epilepsy. The most common abnormal findings on brain MRI were ventriculomegaly (N = 21, 67.7%) and polymicrogyria (N = 14, 45.2%). Delayed development significantly correlated with the presence of polymicrogyria (P = 0.001). Epilepsy was significantly associated with polymicrogyria (P = 0.012), ventriculomegaly (P = 0.045), calcification (P = 0.006), and white matter abnormalities (P = 0.018). Sensorineural hearing loss was not associated with any abnormal findings on brain MRI. Based on these data, a new brain magnetic resonance cytomegalovirus scoring scale was built and this scoring scale can predict the development of epilepsy with odds ratio 3.62 (confidence interval 1.52 to 8.67, P = 0.004).
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with congenital cytomegalovirus infections, brain MRI abnormalities could predict poor developmental outcomes and epilepsy, but not sensorineural hearing loss. Stratified magnetic resonance findings can be suggested as the predictors of neurological outcomes in individuals with congenital cytomegalovirus infections.
