Raine syndrome associated with cytomegalovirus infection
Department of Pediatrics, Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine, Kayseri, Turkey Güneş T, Kurtoğlu S, Çetin N, Öztürk MA, Topaloğlu N. Raine syndrome associated with cytomegalovirus infection. Turk J Pediatr 2005; 47: 89-91.

Intracranial calcification, periosteal proliferation and microcephaly, which represent the clinical features of the congenital cytomegalovirus infection, can also be seen in a rare disorder named Raine syndrome. This clinical entity has been reported in eight families so far. Here, we report a new patient with clinical features of the Raine syndrome associated with cytomegalovirus infection. Although this may be a chance association only, the condition raised the question of whether early intrauterine CMV infection may contribute to the Raine phenotype. Keywords : Raine syndrome, intracranial calcification, cytomegalovirus.
