“…Finally, ACC had been reported to occur in in association with congenital infections, such as Cytomegalovirus [37][38][39] , Toxoplasmosis 40 , Rubella 38 and Influenza virus 41 but they are commonly associated with other CNS and extra CNS anomalies, while the incidence of infection in isolated ACC is negligible.…”

Prosencephalic development is characterized by three sequential events: prosencephalic formation (at the rostral end of the neural tube), cleavage and midline development 1-2. In particular, during prosencephalic cleavage, three main splitting events occurs: horizontal, to form the paired optic vescicles, olfactory bulbs and tracts, transverse, in which telencephalon separates from diecephalon and sagittal, to form the cerebral hemispheres, lateral ventricles and basal ganglia. Prosencephalic development is characterized by appearance of three plates of tissue: the commissural, the chiasmatic and the hypothalamic plates. These structures are fundamental in the development of the corpus callosum (CC), cavum septum pellucidi (CSP), optic nerve chiasm and hypothalamic

“…On the other hand, there was agenesis of corpus callosum, first diagnosed by ultrasonography and later proved by computerized tomography scan. There are few case reports of corpus callosal agenesis associated with congenital HCMV infection, though the exact causative etiology is yet to be determined [5,6]. The most unusual thing with this case was the presence of both aortic obstruction and corpus callosal agenesis in addition to some other usual features of HCMV infection.…”

Congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is a well-known entity. There are infrequent reports of HCMV infection causing endothelial damage leading to aortic thrombi and coarctation of aorta. Also, association of congenital HCMV infection with corpus colossal agenesis has been reported very infrequently. We describe such a case with HCMV infection with multiorgan involvement and two unusual features of aortic pathology and corpus colossal agenesis in the absence of other more frequently described central nervous system findings.
