Abstract

Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is an important cause of lifelong sequelae such as neurodevelopmental impairment and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Although many questions regarding this disease have been resolved, many topics are still under discussion. Counseling of (future) parents is therefore challenging.

This narrative review aims to give an overview on diagnosis, management, treatment and prevention of cCMV in pregnant women and their babies in order to help the clinician in counseling and making a decision for referral.
