Article Abstract
We describe clinical and neuroradiologic findings in a male infant with congenital hydrocephalus born to a mother who developed human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I(HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy.Ultrasonography at age 20 days showed multiple cysts in the subependymal germinal matrix and enlarged lateral ventricles.Elevation of serum HTLV-I antibody suggested that his hydrocephalus was probably due to intrauterine HTLV-I infection. HTLV-I may cause neurotropic infection in utero.
