Abstract

Two children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection and intracerebral echogenicities were investigated by computer sonography and colour Doppler imaging (CDI). By simultaneous imaging of brain tissue and CDI, blood flow within the stripe-like echogenicities of the basal ganglia was demonstrated. Using CDI the echogenicities were identified as the walls of thalamostriate vessels.
