Abstract
We report a histologic and PCR-confirmed case of symptomatic congenital toxoplasmosis in a premature infant with optic nerve atrophy and severe ventriculomegaly requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunt in the absence of cerebral calcifications. A significant risk factor in acquisition of this congenital infection was mother’s consumption of raw deer meat during pregnancy.
