Congenital cerebral toxoplasmosis is a manifestation of congenital toxoplasmosis and refers to development of cerebral toxoplasmosis in the fetus through maternal transmission.
Please refer on congenital toxoplasmosis to a broad discussion on epidemiology and pathology.
Radiographic features
Ultrasound, CT or MRI images may show multiple calcifications predominantly in basal ganglia, corticomedullary junction and to a lesser extent in the periventricular regions. Obstructive hydrocephalus may be seen.
Other associated findings are:
- cerebral/cerebellar atrophy
- encephalomalacia
- cortical and subcortical chunky calcifications
- ventriculomegaly
- microcephaly or macrocephaly due to hydrocephalus
- cortical abnormalities are present, but rare
- chorioretinitis (very common, ~95%)
