Abstract
To clarify the impact of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on developmental disabilities, 20 children with disabilities of unknown cause were analyzed. Five children were CMV positive and had no clinical manifestations at birth. Intracranial calcification was observed in 4 cases. Thus, congenital CMV infection is a significant cause of developmental disabilities.
