Abstract:
A case of Listeria monocytogenes placental infection without foetal contamination is reported. The infant, normal at birth, developed progressive and severe neurological involvement. At 8 months of age, magnetic resonance imaging showed a bilateral cerebral atrophy. The responsibility of placental damage in altering the utero-placental blood flow with subsequent foetal hypoxia is discussed.
