Cytomegalovirus is the most common etiologic agent of congenital infections. If the fetus is infected by the virus in the first trimester of gestation, 10-15% of newborns present symptoms at birth. These symptomatic neonates exhibit a multisystem disease including intrauterine growth retardation, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, impaired liver function tests, pneumonia, pancytopenia, hemolytic anemia, petechia, purpura, dermal erythropoiesis and central nervous system signs. Among the variable central nervous system findings, neuronal migration anomalies are infrequently identified in neonates. Herein, a premature neonate with neuronal migration anomaly due to congenital cytomegalovirus infection is presented
