Abstract
Cytomegalovirus(CMV) associated thrombosis has been reported sporadically in the medical
literature; however, its antenatal scenario has not been documented. We herein present
the antenatal, Doppler's ultrasound and magnetic resonance angiographic features of
thrombosis in the aortic arch showing extension toward the medial lumen of the brachiocephalic
trunk with critical occlusion of the left common carotid artery and left subclavian
artery in a term fetus to raise obstetricians'/ neonatologists'/pediatric cardiologists'
awareness for the association between CMV viremia and intrauterine thrombosis that
caused cerebral injury, neurodevelopmental impairment, and permanent sequela.
