Sumario:Renata Conforti,1 Raffaella Capasso,1 Guglielmo Capaldo,2 Clemente Dato,2 Dario Saracino,2 Giuseppe Di Iorio,2 Mariarosa A Melone21Neuroradiology Unit, 2Division of Neurology and Interuniversity Centre for Research in Neuroscience, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine and Surgery, Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy Abstract: Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome is characterized by bilateral facio-glosso-pharyngo-masticatory paralysis of voluntary movement due to bilateral anterior opercular lesions. We describe the case of a 17-year-old female affected by Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome and congenital cytomegalovirus infection, evaluating the possible etiopathogenetic correlation between cerebral cortical dysplasia and intrauterine infections. Keywords: Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome, opercular syndrome, cytomegalovirus, cortical dysplasia, polymicrogyria
