Congenital Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus LCMV infection Computed Tomography

Head CT scan from a 4 month old child with congenital LCMV infection.

The scan reveals bilateral asymmetric regions of encephalomalacia (asterisks), strongly suggestive of a focal destructive process. Note also the periventricular calcifications (arrow), characterisitic of a prenatal viral infection.

  • Computed tomography - (CT scan) or X-ray computed tomography.
  • encephalomalacia - (cerebromalacia) softening of brain tissue by vascular insufficiency or other degenerative changes.
