Abstract

Introduction: Cytomegalovirus neurological complications are frequent in immunocompromised patients specially in HIV positive patient. In immunocompetent patient these complications are infrequent.

Exegesis: We describe a case of cytomegalovirus myeloradiculitis during pregnancy in a 25-year-old woman, HIV negative. The evolution was favorable with foscarnet therapy.

Conclusion: A spinal complication during cytomegalovirus infection in immunocompetent patient should lead to a therapy with a specific antiviral to reduce neurologic involvement.
