Computed tomography in the diagnosis of congenital cytomegalic inclusion disease

We present two cases of congenital CID, one in a 4-month-old male infant and the other in a 6-week-old male infant. The diagnoses were confirmed by means of computed tomography, cultures, and serologic methods. The relatively noninvasive character of CT makes it an ideal diagnostic method in the neonate. With the improved visualization afforded by CT, specificity on radiographic grounds alone may become possible.
