Resumen

El hallazgo de una calcificación intracerebral de forma aislada, no es un fenómeno excepcional y su aparición puede ser dcbida a alguna manifestación fisiológica o patológica; sin embargo en la práctica clínica diaria, no es habitual encontrar calcificaciones múltiples, y en el caso de haberlas, suelen ser el reflejo de una entidad patológica. Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente recién nacido, afecto de gran calcificación cerebral por afectación congénita de citomegalovirus. Se revisan la etiología y las alternativas terapéuticas.
