Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is an uncommon manifestation of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. We report a case of primary CMV infection associated with preterm labor as well as fetal anemia, thrombocytopenia, and IVH. The finding of unexplained IVH on ultrasound provided an indication for testing of congenital infection. Our case indicates the need for detailed sonographic imaging in pregnancies complicated by preterm labor, as the integration of ultrasound diagnosis can significantly impact management and improve perinatal outcomes.

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
