“…[3,11,16] Prenatal MRI has proven to be a useful examination and complementary to ultrasound. [17,18] So we have seen an increase in the use of prenatal MRI over the last 4 years. Hence we added this topic to the database.…”

In 2007, a prospective multicentre registry was set up to collect data on incidence and outcome of children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection in Flanders. A consensus was reached about management and follow up of cytomegalovirus-infected children. With this registration we aimed at gathering information on congenital cytomegalovirus infection in Flanders and evaluating the consensus on management and therapy. Children with proven congenital cytomegalovirus infection were eligible for registration in the database. Information on prenatal and neonatal management, therapy and follow up until 6 years was obtained. Between 2007 and 2017, 686 children were registered. Data on the prenatal and neonatal characteristics in children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection are reported. ConclusionIn this article we report on our experience of conducting a registry for cCMV in Flanders. Eleven years of collecting data on CMV in a multicenter setting has shown us some pitfalls and opportunities. We address some of the problems and aim at improving our data gathering. We encourage other groups to share their data. Better knowledge of the burden of the disease will be important to guide future management strategies.

“…The central nervous system (CNS) is not fully mature until childhood, and at least part of the dynamic process that takes place in the fetal brain can be appreciated by fetal imaging. The increasing use of prenatal transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound as well as fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has dramatically improved our understanding of the developing fetal brain1–13. Migration defects have diverse sonographic appearances that are usually not visible until the third trimester of pregnancy, unless subtle brain landmarks are sought.…”

“…Recent developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable short acquisition times and provide high grey/white matter contrast (Abe et al, 2003;Rutherford et al, 2008). As a result, these advances allow very precise investigation of foetal anatomy and cortical maturation (Hansen et al, 1993;van der Knaap et al, 1996;Levine and Barnes, 1999;Bendersky et al, 2008;Ghai et al, 2006).…”

Premature birth is associated with several brain dysfunctions including changes in the normal pattern of sulcal development. Previous studies on sulcal abnormalities were performed in subjects with perinatal brain complications. We selected a sample of preterm subjects with a low risk of neurodevelopmental abnormalities with the aim of investigating the effects of prematurity per se. Surface and maximum depth measures of four sulci that develop at different gestational ages were obtained using Anatomist/Brain Visa 3.0.2 software. The sulci measured were the olfactory sulcus (16 weeks), the parieto-occipital sulcus (22-23 weeks), the superior temporal sulcus (32 weeks) and the orbitofrontal sulcus (36-39 weeks). The sample comprised 17 low-risk preterms (mean gestational age: 32 weeks) and 16 full-term children who were matched for age at scan, gender, handedness and socio-cultural status. Analysis of surface variance showed a significant group effect (P<0.015), as well as an interaction between the type of sulcus and group (P<0.001). The superior temporal sulcus surface was inferior in the low-risk preterm group compared to controls. Our findings suggest that even without perinatal complications, premature birth affects sulcal morphology.
