We included cases with proven primary CMV infection at first and second trimester. Prenatal evaluation included both monthly detailed US scans and third trimester fetal brain MRI. Long term outcome was assessed using database search and a telephone interview. Outcome variables included termination of pregnancy (TOP), hearing abnormalities (SNHL), neurological disabilities (NDI) or composite outcome (all three).
