Leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts has been described in a variety of conditions. However, few reports have highlighted congenital CMV as a cause of this imaging finding. We report a 1‐year‐old girl with developmental delay and sensorineural hearing loss whose MRI brain showed abnormal white matter and temporal cysts. Congenital CMV infection was diagnosed retrospectively by examination of dried blood spot from the newborn screening card.
